I'll take a look at the calculations, it has been a while since I did Materials Science.
I keep getting the same answers though, things like 'I replaced that piece of Vixen Spaghetti with Losmandy Beef' but I'm yet to see any data showing errors before that disappeared after.
I'm sure that there *would* be flexure differences, but would like to see just how much, and if it translates to actual differences in imaging. Especially on say a 10" scope or smaller.
It is a common upgrade that people spend money on, I'm just wondering if it is one that gets any actual perceivable benefit to those with medium to small scopes. I'm always interested in data on common upgrades to work out actual bang for buck, rather than anecdotal.
It certainly feels and looks more impressive though
