Hi Roger,

On the details that you supplied, I am very impressed. It shows a good
understanding of the problems in mounts and over a number of product
lines and production releases.

It is also next to impossible for the average amateur to have that
exposure...consider the total outlay in dollars and time alone much
less the experienced eye that it takes to determine the good from the
bad.

I think we both know that when a mount is found lacking, it starts
showing up in droves on the used market. The same process that works
for undesirable cars works for scopes as well.

I agree that the best person to buy something from is one committed to
the hobby who is truly upgrading to the next level. Reality is that
there are usually people standing in line to buy from that person and
the rank amateur has little chance of being the first one in that line.

I've learned a lot about telescopes and mounts, by buying used equipment
that wasn't worth a dime. ;-)
