Sorry but Roland can have all the tricks in the world and he is a skilled maker whom produces top rate refractors, and other scopes if he ever gets them out of the prototype stage, but I am not convinced they are that better made than say Takahashi or TEC to warrant the sometimes excessive resale price. eg A second hand AP160 that the seller put up for auction and wanted $17K + for it. No 6 inch scope is worth that, not even a Takahashi FCT-150.
Please I don't want to get into the all to common AP vs TAK debate and this thread was originally about the new Takahashi TSA-120.
James Edwards said that Takahashi was, in the next few months, about to announce some new scopes to their product line. Ok the TSA-120 is confirmed but I sure hope that this is not it...surely there is more to come.
Addition: I just read that the TSA-120 is just one of the announcements...more to come.
