I bet almost anything that the lx800 will not actually live up to it's claims and go the same way as the rx400 scopes. Since I've been in this hobby Meade have consistently failed in their attention to programming. The lx50 Magellan 2 was a total disaster and wouldn't work properly in the southern hemisphere until I finally tracked down the programmer and after a series of emails got him to sent me a fix for it. Not generally made available as they didn't sell too many in this hemisphere. The autostar was generally good but how many times was this unofficially fixed with patches to bring it up to scratch? Reliability of the lx200 series was questionable as far as the electronics and motherboard was concerned.
I just hope they do a better job of it this time and don't klutz it up again and can actually program the thing for the southern hemisphere.
Rant off
