Good for you Doug. I agree 100%. If you want to splash the money and have the red carpet straight out of the box you can but a little tinkering with what you got and improve it goes a long way. These RC clones are not cheap but you still pay for quality optics. Focusers, etc... are easily interchangeable.
CF is a good idea. I should receive one for my C11 next week too. Should make a significant difference. I don't know what your CFZ is but on the C11 the first few hours in the night are a killer when the temp drops. This tube shrinks like crazy. Need to refocus every 30min until the alu tube stabilizes.
