Not at all, being shorter lived doesn't mean that their optical performance can't be excellent when new. Talking about Dobs here, see below...



To be honest, I don't understand what the attraction of those 120EDs is, but then, I'm not an imager. I wouldn't touch them with a ten foot pole, given how much more useful scopes you can get for that sort of money…

The complication of this thread is that we've been arguing over three corners – expensive frac (high quality, limited usefulness) vs SW frac (to me as useful as tits on a bull) vs Dob (very useful, not lasting forever but cheap).

You make some good points Steffan and this is certainly a somewhat diverse thread.
