I can't comment on the Goto, but I have a Meade 10" ACF that I am currently selling, and have had it side by side with a standard C11 (not the edge HD) and everyone on the night preferred the view through the 10".
But it is hard to say, mine may have been collimated better, or reached temp earlier or many other factors could have been at play. The Coma Free optics do work as advertised though.

The 10" Meade weighs about the same as the C11 though, so they are both heavy at around 12KG, the ACF optics really did seem a step up from the standard SCT, plus the mirror lock is great for imaging.

I wil be able to compare a Celestron 9.25HD to the Meade within a week or so, weather permitting, as I will have both in house.
I'm only selling the Meade as I am wanting to do some Hyperstar imaging and that isn't available for my 10", otherwise it would have stayed with me.
