I have bought the S&S issue and looked at the ad and the scope looks fine for what it is. And if the optics are good, you will see all the advert claims. You might have to wait many years to see both polar caps of Mars (one at a time) but the scope should be good enough to show them. The Meccano-ish kit form of the scope would be especially appealing to kids. It also invites tweak-and-tinkering, i.e. have a go at collimation (unlike a ready made scope).
