Aperture is king in this case. The 200mm aperture, combined with the substantially faster f/4 optics, yield over 19x the light gathering power per pixel, assuming the same camera on each scope, taking into account the 70mm secondary obstruction.

I think after looking at those I know which I would choose.
Oh, and the OPT price, including shipping, works out to about $660AU landed. I've had
accessories that cost more than that.
