Quote: FWIW, I think one major difference between the companies is that Tele Vue builds their telescopes in Chester, NY from parts they design and have manufactured exclusively for them.
Another is Al. There's very very few people with his expertise and experience in this field.

Agreed, although I believe final assembly is done by Stellarvue in California. Only some of the inital parts are sourced in from wherever.
Either way, having a scope from Televue or Stellarvue is going to be just fine for the end user!
