I agree 100%... I love buying new toys too!!

The 8" RC will hopefully last me a year or so, then I'll likely make the move to the 12" when its released.. Hopefully the 12" is F/6.. Or at least, hopefully the then, Astronomics have released the 0.75x reducer.. which will bring the F/8 scopes down to F/6. I think the 12" at F/8 would be a little unwieldy..
