Hi Adrian

TBH, there isnt alot in it, if anything at all, specially for a little 80mm scope, i would go with the Orion, purely because Orion have a reasonably good name, are well established, and i am a label nazi




so in my opinion, thats all it comes down to, badge snobbery. I am led to believe most of these are made in the same factory anyway !
