[Utah-astronomy] Meade LX10 8"

Hello all, Does anyone on this group have experience with the Meade LX10 8" scope? They are currently on sale on Astronomics for $800 (reg price $1370). I have been looking into getting a larger scope for a while (I currently have a 4.5" dob). I have been mostly interested in the Celestron 9.25", but this seems like an exceptional deal. I would appreciate comments (pro and con) from anyone who has used this scope before. Thanks, Aaron Lambert
