A no brainer. The Mak is the way to go.
Pffft!!!....little bit of chro-ab' showing some slight blue/violet fringing!!!!. It's not going to be that bad you can't do anything with it, and I've seen results from the same scope posted here (piccies of the Moon...now you'd expect a veritable rainbow from that!!!), and there was hardly any fringing at all in the pic. I doubt, unless you looked for it, you'd even bother to notice it in the visual. I suppose if you don't like that sort of annoyance then you'd notice it. And, yes, it ain't in the Mak....which is a bonus. And the Mak is cheaper.

In any case, they both have strengths and weaknesses.
