It depends on which day you ask me... or what time of the day.

The 60 will take magnification more readily and if you're looking
towards doing any imaging that's probably the direction you should
take. For visual the double-stacked 40 will show excellent contrast on
the solar disc that takes a bit more study with a wider bandpass
system to appreciate.

We're on the road starting right now so if you have a chance to meet
up with us at the larger star parties we'll be happy to show you the
differences at the eyepiece.

I'm looking for some comments from Coronado Maxscope users. Which
would you prefer - a double-stacked 40mm or a single 60mm? Obviously
the image of the Sun in the 40mm will be dimmer but more detailed. But
would it be too dim for public viewing?

The double stacked 40mm is actually $600 cheaper than a 60mm and half
the cost of the double stacked 60mm. Would appreciate any comments on
this, thanks.
