Search under sites such as cloudy nights etc to see various write ups.

Well it's settled, the meade LX80 is a clear winner! I'd much rather buy something new than something for the same price that is a few years old, even if the meade hasn't been around long. I'm putting in an order today! I rang bintel and they had no idea when the stock would be coming in.. Now I just need to decide on a scope. I don't mind an ED80 but like I said would like something a little bigger, do you have any other suggestions to go with that LX mount? Sorry to hassle, you've already helped a lot!
