That's what I thought when I got my 114mm for $199. It's gotta be a bargain at that price; how bad can it get? After having owned the reflector for over 1 year, I can say confidently say that it is not worth it. You will get poor optics and a near useless mount. A 60mm refractor will do at least ass well as that scope. If you are on a very tight budget, I would recommend a 6" Dobsonian for $299 from Andrews Communications, or if you want a more compact scope grab one of 80 or 90mm refractors on an AZ3 mount from AOE.
