Thanks Greg,
Sorry for the late reply, I just revisited this topic.
I have 'paid' and joined Astromart and am watching for an extender.
This tak is really the first quality refracter I've ever owned and it's so good, I have already bought a WO70ED to guide it, which is also looking to be an excellent scope.
If the extender is of similar quality to the tak, and that looks to be true, then I won't need my vc200l any more.
And I used to think refractors where just guide scopes
