They could have moved the factory to Indiana and still have QC issues if their old QC staff aren't on hand to train the new guys. It just comes down to poor transitions, in my opinion. Where the factory is isn't the source of the woes, the fact that the employees are likely undertrained is the issue.

I wound up buying An LX200 ACF instead partly because of this issue. So far the mechanics are solid. Just need to address an issue with the wrong collimation screws sent with the mounting rings, and possibly an issue with the Autostar handbox display. Minor and nagging issue that have been around for awhile but don't destroy my use of the scope.
