Bojan,
I've had mine for a while now and I give it the thumbs up. From memory you have an EQ6? I think this is about the limit in terms of weight and focal length for that mount.

Other random thoughts:
- At f/8 the focus is surprisingly forgiving and therefore a robo focus is not mandatory. The focuser doesn't 'sag' but it's also not 100% repeatable with a robo focus on it either. Having said that, it does keep focus and collimation from night to night.
- The 10 inch verison has a better primary support design, but it's too heavy for an EQ6
- You will spend time collimating on those rare clear nights. If you don't have a permanent setup, I seriously recommend considering a refractor instead.
- IMHO CCD Inspector is just about mandatory.
- I can't comment about the quality of the mirrors - except that the central obstruction size and seeing are probably going to be a bigger issues that any mirror defects you might have.
- There is supposed to be a 12" and 16" version in the pipe. You might pick up a cheap second hand 8" version if/when these are released.
