I would certainly be happy to buy a secondhand R/ACF scope if and when one comes up.

I think I already regret saying that this will be my last scope. I'm getting the sense that no one believes me when i say that.

Thanks for your tips by the way

Most advertising is hype IMO. Where the R/ACF tubes better the SCT is photography as they produce a fairly flat field free of coma. The SCT will not do this, you must add a corrector to the imaging line. You will not be disappointed with visual use either as they are pretty good value.
