Yeh..? Not sure I completely agree. While I certainly wouldn't give one back should I be handed one
these long FL scopes can't fit in the bigger objects so a time starved imager on a realistic budget is often looking for the holy grail compromise, so 1200mm FL with as much apperture as practicable and in average levels of seeing experienced in Oz, can be pretty much the sweet spot for most IMO
