But that doesn't mean that the optical design can't be better (or better
in some respects, since with telescopes there are always tradeoffs). It
makes sense that a high end, almost custom made scope will be better in
most ways than a mass produced scope, but that's not what the lawsuit is
about.


Name one respect in which the Meade SCT (faux Ritchey) is actually improved over the Classic RC Design. Please provide links other than Meade's BS Marketing Hype.


Thank You
