Hi Jason, I've actually been wondering about the speed of my scope. I think the new versions are faster than mine but I can't be sure. I'm sure mine wasn't a 1200 focal length either, I'm pretty sure it's 1000, but I don't really have a way to check that that I know of, other than measuring the length of the OTA.

I checked, my GSO Plossls are 25mm and 9mm, and the Super 500 are 12.5 and 6.

I think the 12.5mm and the 9mm work the best in my scope, 6 was too blurred and 25 was probably not magnified enough. Edit: That being said I probably don't "get" the purpose of a low mag EP.
