Hi Paul- I'd love to have the Mewlon 10in if money were no object. From what I've seen it's a quantum leap (in performance, but also damnably price!) over the 8inch I've got, mostly as it has fixed primary mirror and electric secondary shifting focus so no more mirror shift. The ultimate planetary imaging scope I'd venture... That said some of the images I've seen produced with the C9.25 are up there in the same league and at a fraction of the cost. I've been thinking myself of getting either a 9.25 or C11 on a HEQ5 or EQ6 for that little bit extra that only aperture can give when the seeing permits.
The exchange rate against the Yen hasn't been better than now for some time though - maybe it's an omen
cheers,
