The Meades will have much flatter FoV's due to the optics employed in their design. They'll also have crisper views as they don't have the amount of central obstruction as the GSO RC's. They should also have almost the same (if not better) on and off axis stars as the RC's due to the ACF optics. To reach and/or exceed the quality of optics in the Meade telescopes you would have to buy a RC considerably better than the GSO's. That's not to say the GSO's haven't good optics...from what I can gather they do, but I can tell you from experience that the ACF optics are very, very good. If you can take images through similar sized Meade and GSO scopes and compare them, you will have a good idea of where they can be compared. Actually, I would like to own both scopes myself ( I already own an 8" ACF). Both will take excellent images using DSLR's and/or dedicated CCD cameras.
