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

The acf optics on my scope are nice and sharp and compared to a few SCT there was a bit of a difference as long as the scope is properly cooleddown and colimated well otherwise you probally would not tell the difference.
Up at astrofest a few years ago there was a 200R when they first came out next to a couple of various Sct and it was sharper but this could have also been colimation issues as well.
If you are spending that sort of money you might as well get the latest optics for use now and possible resale value in the future.
