Hi Matthew,
I have seen a few of these scopes, mainly as 6" reflectors. A friend has one, and while he is pleased with it, he doesn't know any better regarding good optics versus bad ones! The mount is prettygood (hand-controlled equatorial), but it doesn't give good images with the optics. Which can be down to either incorrect mirror wavelengths, or very poor eyepieces.
Is it a 6" you saw for sale?

It doesn't sound bad Matthew! If they uhold their customer service and warranty that they are offering, then you have very little to loose. However, you won't know till you have to test it, how good it is!
I hink thenyou should go for it. It is realy no different then going for a Tasco, which were in my opinion, a good low-end amateur telescope!

Perhap because light travels faster than sound, some people appear bright until you hear them speak.
