I have owned and worshiped SDM006 for 3.5 years now. All I can say is that bigger is better. Admittedly, my scope is equipped with cameras now and does not often see an eyepiece in between Astrofests, but it is a joy to use and still more than exceeds my every expectation.
For me, it couldn't be easier to transport and set up. I can have it set up in the dark, collimated, aligned and pointing at a 14th magnitude galaxy in under 30 mins on any dark sky site on the planet whilst taking my time. I will challenge anyone to beat me with an EQ mounted Newt!
My only regret - spending so much of my life looking at bugger all through silly little scopes.
I AM (still) AN APERTURE JUNKIE
