Skywatcher or GSO Tube

Hi,
I’m after some opinions on which to get. The 10” f4.8 Skywatcher Newt for $1100 or the GSO 10” f4.8 Newt for $800, either will be sitting on an AZ EQ6 GT mount. Both are currently available for me to purchase. Or is this one of those times that you get what you pay.
Cheers
Rod

In my experience, GSO mirrors are superior, having owned both brands. And I used a GSO 10" primary and its secondary in the 10" carbon strut Newt I built several years ago.
