Can I say that if you want to go down the visual route buy the mirror and build it yourself or get someone to build it for you 
that way you control the situation. 
Most mass produced telescopes are built to a price not quality

Ron, I see your point, but what about the optical quality of these Chinese GSO's and BINTELS etc?
Is there a consensus that the optics are good but the scope build is crap???
Ron, what brand is your mirror?
