Me too ...
I am looking to buy a 7 inch ED, but I'd really like first to see some
results with it ( photographs of deep-sky and planets ) to compare the
refractor with the higher priced EDT from AstroPhysics. 
Any comments and experiences welcome. I know the 3 lens design probably
is better, but is it worth the nearly double price you have to pay for it ?
