It is better set up for photography with extra bits thrown in. The supplied dew shield is also a bonus.. so i think there is no contest.

Very interesting, Graham. I'm curious/concerned about the cool-down time. It's mentioned at lot in US forums but a lot of these guys are talking about taking the scope from a heated house out into the middle of a very cold winter. In Australia the temperature difference wouldn't be as much of an issue, but are we still talking 1-2 hours? What's your experience?
