I still have my 10" GSO dob, which I purchased back in 2006 and I still can't bring myself to sell it.
Sure its had its issues (mainly the base swelling up from constant soakings of dew from the Pony Club) but, I still love it.
Compact enough to fit across the back seat of a Corolla. Holds its collimation well.
I think with these mass produced newts, its a bit of a lottery on how good the optics are but, it doesn't seem to be an issue with the 10" and smaller scopes.
Cheers

Oh...ditch the finder scope and get a telrad....
