Either way, the optics are going to be of similar quality (Synta vs. GSO is pretty much six of one, half dozen of the other). A 12 inch scope that collapses into one small, easy to transport piece sounds mighty appealing, possibly even more so than the lightbridge which you have to break down into multiple pieces. If it winds up being cheaper than the lightbridge, this sun of a gun will be HUGE.
