HI Mat,
??? I have never purchased anything from Astromart. All my purchases have been from Orion. Which I have never had a bad experience. I myself prefer a dob. There is nothing like it. They are the least complicated and in my opinion have the best view. I like the challenge of finding it myself instead of the go to feature. Good luck on any choice you make.

I have never been burned at Astromart, and think it's a valuable source for
an amateur. However, you should be versed on what you're buying. Remember,
if you're not completely satisfied there is no recourse when buying
something used.

Along the lines of Meade telescopes I will say I cannot remember seeing bad
optics from them. Quite the contrast, both they and Celestron are making
better optics now than ever in their history. The mechanics/electronics are,
however, varied. And forget those instruction manuals! Still, it's amazing
they can sell complete telescopes for the price they do.
