ETX125 vs LXD55 SN6

I'm getting on ok with my SN6-EC !
Although the OTA had to be exchanged due to some marks on the corrector
plate, the mount is stable and smooth in operation.

It is NOT a portable scope however, I'm lucky in that it's only a few steps
out of the door to nice dark (err) darkness.

I have had some great views of Jupiter, The Moon and a brief glimpse of M31.
Just got my 'Special Offer' Eyepieces the other day and looking forward to
trying them out...

cheers

Thanks I appreciate your opinion. On the other hand I would like some
recommendations on the two scopes, with regard to quality, usefullness
and
pricing.

Instead of "What would you recommend?" I should have asked "Which would
you
recommend?"

Neither, they're both bad choices for a beginner.

Sorry, but you asked.
