Orion 6i inteliscope

[Monstar (Johnny)]

Does anyone have one of these? I was talking to a bloke at work earlier about my new scope (the SW 130p Dob) and he surprised me by saying he wanted to get a scope and asked me (that's a laugh in itself) what I thought of this Orion. We both had a quick look online and noticed good reviews apart from the assembly and initial aligning of two stars.

I just wondered if anyone had one and what their opinion is.

great scope.
I don't have one but have looked at it.
Also have friends with the 12" and 14" versions.
They are brilliant scopes.
The 6 should be of the same quality but a lot easier to move about.
