Did he say if it was going to be solid tube or truss? With that low price I say solid tube...but probably with a split tube design. The 12" was going to be a spilt tube but for some strange reason they went the solid tube way. Good thing I have not put any money down for a 10" or 12"....but then again no big dob is going to fit in my 3rd storey apartment balcony
