Default who makes large reflectors? (15"-25")

I want to buy one in the next couple of years, and I want to be sure
to read about every company that makes telescopes in this size,
particularly Dobsonian models from cheap to expensive. Off the top of
my head I can remember

Meade
Celestron
Discovery
Coulter/Murnaghan (sp?)
Obsession
Star-something (StarMaster or StarSplitter or something like that)

Please add to this list. Thanks!

I'm fairly new to SAA, but aside from the ones mentioned I believe that
Parks Optical (www.parksoptical.com) advertises a 16" f/4 scope.
