Nothing beats raw aperature, add with it the new optic design of Meades RCX, and you get stars like dots as well.
I bought the 14" RCX-400 (first in Aus too), took me many many months to save for it.
Apart from QC problems Meade have with these scopes, the views are Flat to the edge, no change in shape and very sharp. I remember the first night, i was so amazed and lost in the views that my brain forgot to give the signal to swallow and i actually drooled down my chin and onto my shirt, and its no bull, i really did drool and had a chuckle over it too.
Having owned many scopes, and currently own a 10" LX200, 20" Obsession, and now the 14" RCX400, i can say the sharpest and tack point images is the RCX, but ya just cant beat the image from the 20".
You really need to see a well colimated RCX400.
Then you too will come to the Dark Side..
