Once the issues with the 8" are dealt with (ie the reflections you guys are getting / focuser etc), and all the other teething troubles are squashed, the larger sizes when released will be an even greater bargain. I'm watching quietly from the sidelines, as I'm sure a lot of others are, to see how the 12"+'ers turn out.
One thing I've noticed is the prices are ballpark(ish) to same sized LX200-ACF ota's...
8" LX200-ACF OTA - $2299
8" RC - $2699
10" LX200-ACF OTA - $3499
10" RC - $3699
12" LX200-ACF OTA - $5399
12" RC -
Maybe I'm just reading into it a little too much.
One things for sure.... there's interesting times ahead.
