I was impressed with the views after the repair.
Stars now focus to pinpoints across the FOV on this particular model, using the 28mm RKE eyepiece. After looking at the optics firsthand, I have changed my initial opinion of the build quality of the early models.
Naturally you have to admire any telescope that you can so easily carry and set up. The sphere mount was pure genius. Being able to rotate the scope in the mount to better position the EP is a feature that few scopes offer.
The Astroscan certainly fills the void between binoculars and larger scopes. Compared to giant binoculars on a tripod, the whole package is more portable and definitely has a more comfortably viewing position, as well as a much larger field of view (which I personally enjoy in a scope)
