Yup you could, but the GSO 16" are a pretty good deal, and I haven't yet
heard any complaints with them from any body. You only going to notice
anything possibly when compared side by side under excellent seeing. So
for me spending AUS$872.00 as appose to spending AUS$3500.00 on
something of optical brilliants doesn't fit my buget. However it will be
heading for a refigure in the future... right after I have my next mirror
made
