Sourcing Large, light, fast Newtonian mirrors?

Can anyone a good source for light weight 16" to 20" F4 or faster Newtonian mirrors? Currently looking at Hubble Optics but open to suggestion

Thanks.

Mark Suchting makes a world class conical mirror.
Very highly recommended.

Hi Rom
Steve Kennedy in the USA specializes in large fast mirrors , I use one of his 24" F3.66 , fantastic quality and keeps the scope short ( ish ) I don't think he does smaller sizes though when I ordered he was doing 24s 28s and 32s all at F3.66 but it may be worth stepping up a size the detail in galaxies is worth it.
