No, mine is.

And ditto on the grammar.

In my mind the biggest problem with your OA reflector is limited
aperture combined with large focal length, along with all the other
drawbacks of a Newtonian.

The difference is that with a Newt, you get an instrument that is well
suited for various tasks.

A typical 3" or 4" OA Newt is not well optimized for any purpose I can
see, aside from an interesting conversation, IMO.
