Agreed, not sure what you mean by 'C' but I have the LS60T/LS50F/BF1200/FT/PT.
Simply put, I love my scope. The feather touch is a fantastic upgrade as is the pressure tuner. The pressure tuner allows for greater control of tuning while the FT allows for a superior focusing especially for photography. I posted a review of the standard vs FeatherTouch a while back. I also have the LSCaK60T with the standard 10:1 focuser.
You will find many threads here that review the LS60T and many of them are quite positive. A fine scope for the price to be sure.

Yes, likewise, not sure what you mean by /C. But, essentially that is my set up. I had used the LS50 filter on its own when Lunt opened for business. Andy talked me into double stacking it with a LS60THa scope. I had already been using a B1200 with the original filter.
I received the new unit matched by Andy some 2 or 3 weeks ago and have used it extensively for outreach and it is a real winner. The double stack starts to show that classic 3D ball hanging in space and the orange peel mottling is stunning. Filaments, AR, etc are vividly seen. So much so that even the general public can spot all these details right away. Proms are actually well seen even with the double stack which is really nice.
Just using the LS60 scope single stack mode lessens the detail obviously but there is still a nice, bright mottled sun with the proms very bright. The single stack LS60 set up blows away the PST and the LS50 on any of my refractors. Adding the double stack is like icing on the cake. I now have a serious solar outreach tool that is getting all the Wows, Oohhs and Ahhhs. Folks are blown away at the fact that they are seeing their star for the first time. And, seeing it with such detail!

The C stands for Crawford focuser. This is the lettering scheme from the Lunt website.
Thank you all for the reviews!
