It took a little while to sink-in. If I had perservered with it, I might have come to fancy the Mewlon, but I'm dead tired of equipment that needs a lot of fussing and the Mewlon needed fussin' with (collimating) all the time.
Another issue was the collimation screws (self-tappers ?!?!) actually SQUEEKED!!!! and the focuser was quite 'grindy'.
Optically. no complaints.
Just not noticably superior to a good SCT.
