While I love Sky and Telescope, I have to take their product comparisons of
two of their biggest advertisers with a grain of salt. Informative, but
never definitive. The info on this and other newsgroups is much more
objective in that regard. In other words, you'll never see Sky and Telescope
publish a statement like:

The Meade SP's aren't bad, but you can notice a difference and I always
prefer the TV. I think the TV Plossls are one of the best values in
astronomy hardware.
