To answer the questions and comments, intel is not high on my list but Orion's only 14" truss is an Intel.
Buying is still a way off yet as first I need to build the observatory and finish the H-400 (239 caught as of last night)
I find many people agree that the larger LB's are not so good. I have had no complaints with either construction or optics of my 8' LB but it seems to be the one they borrow parts from for the bigger ones.
Again though let me emphasize what I am looking for is a modern scope that will get me close to what Sir John Herschel was able to see with his 18" metal mirror with a 20 foot f/l.
