Default Opinions on new scope

The 10inch struggles on the LXD75 mount, the 8inch is a better match for the
mount. Consider a 2nd hand 8 or 10inch from UKAstroAds, that's where we got
our 10inch LX200. The Celestron 9 1/4 inch is a great scope too, possibly
marginally better optics?

Hi all. Already I'm hooked on this stargazing lark, even though I just
got a scope for xmas, it's only a 76mm reflector. I'd like to get a
more powerful scope.

The one I'm looking at, at the moment is a 10" Meade:

I wonder, does anybody own this scope or similar and could give an
opinion?

Regards,

Simon
