I think they say a man needs to be able to know when he is beaten.

It really is a shame that so many people get bitten by these rubbish scopes, scopes that will never perform to a reasonable standard. Some cheap scopes can be improved with a bit of work, esp the mount, but these
short tube newtonians are almost universally condemned as a waste of money by anyone who knows what they are talking about.
Yep one needs to know when to cut ones losses and not throw good money at a lemon.
If you are looking for a compact, lightweight, and pleasant to use scope for travelling i can recommend
this one with the caveat that you might want to upgrade the focuser.
