On optical finders vs a telrad.

Optical finders are very useful for those who live in light poluted areas where the number of naked eye visible stars is much reduced. Star hopping using a telrad in such a location is much more difficult proposition.
If you have dark skies where you live , the optical finder can be done away with.
