You haven't seen the Orion 100mm f/9 ED. You haven't looked though an
OA4.
Somehow, though, you know which is better. You must be doing Psychic
Telescope Reviews, and I'll give them the credibility they deserve.

I have seen a couple of the OAs, but have not had an opportunity to really
check one out. The one that showed up at our public Star Parties was
never
collimated. I once had a big interest in various off-axis reflectors -
Schiefs and Tri-Schiefs - but after seeing a bunch decided they had
nothing
to offer over a good, well made Newt, and Newts are easier to collimate.

Do I detect the pot calling the kettle black?
