Hi Sean,
I have one of these (white one, but essentially the same thing) and as Nathan suggested, the latest AS&T magazine has a comprehensive review done on this scope.
Other things to note are:
VERY heavy when fully assembled, I recommend taking the tube off the base when moving it from inside the house to the backyard as it weighs about 40KG assembled.
Collimation is easier to do with a laser collimator as you can see the secondary and visually line up the laser dots quite quickly. I have noticed that it needs regular collimation because the primary moves around a lot during transit, even with the lock up screws locked.
Very good quality and stiction on the movement and the views through the scope are EXCELLENT.
All in all, a highly recommended 12 inch scope, the collapsible design means it isnt as cumbersome to move around than a solid tube.
Regards
Chris
