I don't think I'd argue that too much now that you
mention it. I've always sorta thought that the
'normal' values were around 87-93% for most of the
SCTs. Maybe Celestron has been using that technology
all this time and Meade hasn't.
I'd have a hard time believing that though as
competitive as they are.
