Hi all,
I've only had my OdysseyII, 17.5", for about a month. Nowhere near a year, so it is still a developing relationship.
I need a step ladder to use it, and had to put some thought into the right one. Kids and giants and everyone inbetween will view through it, and the right ladder means no awkard balancing feats. Even as a truss form, the ladder will still be used. That being said, I never saw it as an impediment.
I'll add that it is also horses for coarses. I also have a C5, and a 10" DIY dob. Each has their place, and I'm glad to be able to have this Trinity. I love the Odyssey. The C5 is my ultimate travel scope. The 10" is the quickest and easiest to use.
