When they make a 600mm F1.5 optic I will get one. By binning x2 my system passes for this given I collect enough subs.

Well you can always DIY-it (in terms of light gathering) with four 600mm f/3 optics to get that (Well almost. It would be more like f/1.8 in light gathering terms, accounting for the secondary obstruction). It might cost a little more
