Same for me, but financial constraints also came into play. I have had good reports on my GSO 12" from people that know more than I do, so I'll stick with that for now. Perhaps one day there will be good reason to upgrade to a premium 12" mirror?

For now, the "turbo" SDM fits right in between the "clunky" 16" LB and a 16" SDM with premium mirror, which is exactly what i was looking for. As many have iterated here and from my own experience having used gso dobs and a lightbridge for a while, optics is one thing, but the mount, scope and comfortability factor is just as important as well.

Looking forward to it
