I didn't intend to completely dismiss Coronado Stuart, I had a PST and it was a very nice little scope; I sold it at a cheap price which was a great deal for the buyer, but for a new purchase Lunt is clearly the way to go. I haven't heard of a single instance of Lunt filter oxidization whereas Meade has had the infamous 'rust' problem with their blocking filters (both the full aperture pst filter and the rear blocking filters) and, as you said, the focuser is better on the Lunt. I've had great support from the dealer (Sirius Optics) and good support from Lunt; I had to be pushy with Lunt because their products are so popular your request can be lost in the pile - phoning directly works best.
