Yes, well the sun is a much more social size too!

That's a shame, if that turns out to be the case. You're not the first person to tell me the 60 isn't flat (hmmm not sure if its the same scope though...) Ever since I started using the SM40 on the ED80 I've been keen to upgrade to a larger aperture to capture sharper detail at higher magnifications, but I'd be disappointed if the results weren't as seamless as I can get from the SM40.
