I think it depends on what you want fredsnerd in the end if you want a top class telescope then get a top class mirror & use top class eyepieces vs Gso mirror & med grade eyepieces , IMO there will be a difference, is it worth the extra $ that only you can answer , I believe it is.
Sure mass produce mirrors are cheaper & maybe great value, but i have first hand experience in seeing the Chinese companies entering a market with very cheap product only to drive out competitors then turn around charge very high prices for a less quality product once they have cornered a market, I wouldn't like to see that happen here,But thats the way it will probably go & premium mirror making will be another lost art.
