I have a 10" LX200R/ACF. Nice flat fields, nice sharp optics, mirror lock and plenty of aftermarket gear available eg focusers, reducers etc. Same as you Mick, I have never needed any more then a dew shield to hold the dew at bay so I am not sure what all the fuss is about although the air is pretty dry over here. Only problem is its weight, its a heavy tube for its size. I guess it really depends on your mount. As has been mentioned here I would also be looking at the GSO RC's as they are a nice scope (yes I have looked through TrevorW scope) for about the same price as the Meades. Vixen I have no idea, never even seen on in real life.
Doug, I am pretty sure Moonlite make focusers for the vixen tubes and there must be others e.g. Feather touch?????
