Mass producing a 20 inch is not that easy. I picked up one of the few 29 inch F4.5 newtonian sets built by Coulter Optical about 25 years ago. It was a beast of a thing and although I got one of the best amateur views of Halley, mounting the thing fair killed me..... but manufacturing it, killed Coulter ;-)
