At the end of the day, you pay for what you get i guess.
I would be a bit concerned though buying this scope through VTI based on the conditions of purchase they have.
Quote:
- You, the buyer, accepts that, there may be scratch marks on the item, which will not be a valid reason to return the item or to request for a replacement or refund.
- ‘Not performing to expectation’, ‘Soft focus’, ‘Presence of coma aberration’, ‘Focuser not smooth, rough play, sloppy play or not to expectation’, 'Finger marks on objective' are also not valid reasons to return the items or request for a replacement or a refund.

Scratch marks... hmm ok i guess.
Finger marks? No way i would accept a lens/telescope that is sold as brand new if it has finger marks. That's just sloppy as all hell.
And i think by having the terms it pretty much confirms the scopes do have the aforementioned problems.
But again - for $1100, the majority of the scopes are probably fine for most.
