The MPCC is pretty hard value to beat Greg. I think for 99% of objects you'll be a lot worse off without it, even if you do get the odd reflection from it. Once you step up from the Baader I'm pretty sure you start looking at much more expensive options with wider optical surfaces. Having said that I think there might be an Orion option now - I'd have to go digging for info.
This whole game tends to become an issue of getting cost effective pieces of the puzzle that work together. There's always something more expensive to lust after, but it's surprising how many other parts of your established imaging train can need upgrading as you fiddle
I'd be hanging that in the pool room BTW!
