From what I have read they both have their good points and their bad points. One of the articles I have read at
http://www.astromart.com/articles/ar...?article_id=86 claim the Orion scope is good and one of the articles I read concerning the Saxon scope is indiferent, unfortunately I didn't bookmark the article. But other reports have been the opposite for both scopes. That is why I was looking for recommendations from someone who may have used either or both scopes before.
