give better views due to higher quality mirrors and 0.5mm sec mirror supports ?
I'm not intending to do any dob mods, just want a scope thats easy to handle straight of of the box.
I'd most likely buy on price and extra features...I don't think you will see any difference in the quality of the mirrors, I'd expect either of them to be pretty good.

Either of these scopes will most likely need a little "tweaking" over time...I've never met a Dob owner that didn't "improve" things with their scope over time...Nothing serious and either should work out of the box.

Clear Dark Skies to you!
