I got the offer for the M703 dlx at about the same time as when CZ agreed to make a mirror for me. It was an easy decision for me :-)

cheers,
Arief

ps: I can give you the email of the M703 owner if you want. If portability is not an issue, an M715/MN76/MN78 should make a better choice.

Only con is it is an open tube design, so do take care of the optics. Incidentally, it greatly helps in thermal cool-down anyway. The M180 is about the price of C9.25 new, or maybe even lesser. The M210 is close to S$4K but it will be a lifelong purchase for most visual observers!

my 3 cents

Remus, are you sure the mewlon M210 is close to SGD4K??

The US price is US$3,144.
