I can vouch for the Telrad also. I have had one on my 6" and 8" Newt's years ago, my LX200 and my 12" Dob until recently (the new owner of this one, Lowepro, loves it also!) Simple to use and, you know what? It just works. And the LED use so little battery consumption.
My only criticism is the large shape, there is a lot of wasted space in the battery compartment but, on second thoughts, it's 'clunky', traditional design which has never changed since Steve Kufeld designed it in (I think) 1977, so why change it?
