Well I'll jump on the same wagon with John,Laurie and Rob. Anyone thats not seeing good views should reassess their equipment. Whether its collimation,pinched optics ,eps or whatever. I dont think I could accept viewing with anything less than I'm used to. With good seeing (not excellent) I can magnify to around 400x no probs.Thats my viewing limit, but only because I dont have a good ep to go above that ,that will still give me a crisp clear view.
Soggy blobs I'm afraid just dont cut it with me.
Try this link and refer to the planetary pics at the bottom and especially the closing statement.

The whole article is brilliant and well worth reading by any reflector owner inc SCTs.
Why settle for anything less than whats acheivable
