Actually orion has been doing just fine with its solid tube Dobs despite the Lightbridge rollout. Orion's ace in the hole versus Meade is an affordable DSC system. If these make their way to Orion, they might take some marketshare from Meade despite lacking a 16".

Personally, if Orion made a 14" Dob with collapsible OTA like these and Intelliscope, I would easily choose it over a 16" Lightbridge.
