I don't think there's one better than the other but it is my understanding that Meade and Celestron do things a little differently when putting together their SCTs. Meade seems to have slightly better tolerances in manufacturing their optics which allows them to mix and match mirrors and correctors until they find the best match. On the other end Celestron will refigure their optics during matching if need be on a scope per scope basis. In the end you still get a top product. Different approach. This is one of the reason you might have heard people breaking a corrector on a Meade scope getting another one as opposed to a Celestron SCT which has Primary/Secondary and Corrector tied up together because of figuring. Damage any of the three and it's a show stopper. Especially the corrector.
