Everybody gets defensive when their type of scope is attacked.

There is no ONE perfect scope.
Every type has a place and benefits, over another style. What makes it more suitable for an individual is strictly up to the individual. If your happy with your scope and you use it, thats all that matters.
Take Striker (sorry Tony,NO disrespect here) for instance,started with a dob but found it not suitable. Went for the Meade Sct on fork mount, then changed to an Sct on an eq mount.He seems pretty happy with his setup now.(I would be too)
Me, I like my dob. Quick setup,no electrics,simple to operate and good views.
Yeah ,goto would be nice, but for me not a neccessity on the dob.
Still, reflectors are way better than refractors
