I have an LX200R which is what meade used to call the ACF series before they got sued. They do have nice optics I can vouch for that. There are a number R/ACF scopes coming up for sale on the forums. If you saw mine (3 years old) you would not know it from a new scope except for the big red R on the tube. People tend to take care of them. Since this is to be your last scope may I suggest you buy the tube only and fit it to a reasonable EQ mount. That way when you change your mind it's simply old scope off, new scope on
