'Optically' the Parks is a step above the GS fractionally. The view seems crisper and the contrast seems marginally better(even though the secondary is nearly 20mm larger). There's slightly less coma on the Parks.
I'm still happy to use the GS scope after the kids have finished, rather than drag the Parks out as well,as the GS gives great views. It might lack a little but unless I really want to get the most detail possible out of an object or an event, I'm really not that fussed (optically)over which one I use.
Thank you Slice - this is an interesting endorsement. They certainly appear to be excellent value for money.
