I'm willing to be objective about this. However, I would think it very difficult to compare the optical qualities of the two primary mirrors (secondaries of lesser importance). Did you compare say the Meade 12 inch and Skywatcher 12 inch at more or less the same time, under the same conditions (light and atmosphere) and with the same eyepieces. And did they both cool down over the same time period. And who did the collimations. Were they also checked? Then, it's still going to be a very subjective assessment.
Just defending my pride and joy, the Meade 12inch.
