So really how important is this 10:1 fine focus and 90° Correct Image Finderscope? I really have no idea.

What is NEW Adjustable Super Deluxe (ASDX) adjustable tension 8" Dob?

Oh the joys of currency fluctuations...

With respect to the New Adjustable tension thingamajiggy...I would speculate (and this is only a guess) that GSO will ultimately switch away from the springs to the Adjustable tensioners like on their "Lightbridge like" dobs...but again, this is only a guess...
