Peter, my thoughts towards Meade have changed markedly since I looked through a LX200R that a mate of mine owns. I had a LX200 10" 4 years or so ago and I must have got an average one. At first I thought it was fine but as time went on I discovered it had a few flaws that did not work for me. I noted this same problem in a few others I got to look through. The ACF ones are from what I have seen exceptional.
Certainly a good point about being talked into or out of a any particular telescope. Always go with what you can see, and do plenty of research before you buy. Look for hi res images of any particular telescope. They will give you clues as to waht is gonna work for you.
