And an 8" SCT or 7" f/15 Mak will easily slay the 120mm apo's - all of them - on all scores. Even a close match for weight, and for lower cost.

There's a lot to be said for a 7-8" cassegrain over a refractor of smaller aperture. In many ways it is a shame that Celestron and Meade are being killed by the Chinese clones, and unable to come up with any significant innovation to survive.
