The issue is not that there is a barlow in the focuser, but whether it works. If it was a good mirror with a good barlow lens, then it would be a good scope! But the reason a built-in barlow rings alarm bells for me is that it does not give the user the option whether to use a barlow or not. It says to me: this mirror is so bad that you don't want to see how it performs at its native focal length.
