What i like best about Meade is there pricing in Australia is much closer to the US price. The LX80 looks like a nice mount and the alt/EQ hybrid is really a cool feature. No more wedge requried. One thing the capcity of 70lbs is given is two OTA's are used but can this work in EQ mode? Could you use a 2nd OTA instead of counter weights?
Its good to see Meade are still around and putting out new products. Would like to have seen some new OTA designs though. Something like the Edge HD.
