I feel like I'm on sale of the century...do I win anything...lol
For a start 1 inch of aperture is not going to make any difference.
I purchased a LX200 10" fork mount but then decided I wanted to do Astrophotography....instead of paying out for an expensive wedge I decided to go down the EQ trail which gave me virtualy unlimited room for camera and accessories....plus I wanted to try a EQ mount as I have never had one.
The c9.25 is said to be slightly better then the Meade 10" due to its Secondry mirror F value....but we are clutching at straws here...they are both nice scope....personaly I dont think you will see any difference between the both.
