My point is that the price point of refractors can lead to a stunting of growth in your horizons as an amateur astronomer. My 120ED is about 13kg in its case - similar to a 10" F5 Newt and a 10" is a far far more useful machine for astronomy than a 5" scope ( I hang on to mine with the idea of imaging one day ) . Theres definately a grab n'go zone for refractors and I can understand some people wanting to stay there !
I have no problem with those that stay in small aperture land all their lives- I do have a problem with people who claim their scopes defy the laws of physics.
