Costco Refractor Sale

My local Costco store is selling Meade 102 mm achromatic refractors on a goto mount with controller for $199.00. This appears to be Meade's version of the Celestron goto refractor that sells for $479.00. The latter received a good review awhile back in one of the astronomy magazines.
Has anyone seen a review of the Meade unit or does anyone own one who can comment on it's quality?

Rod:

From what I have gathered on the Web, these are 800mm focal length so they are not the same as the Celestron. My few experiences with the DS series mounts and scopes are that use a lot of plastic and are shaky-flaky. The campus astroclub bought two DS series Newtonians, we unpacked one, sent them both back.

This one may be different but I don't think that the DS scopes are directly comparable to Celestron's SLT scopes. Of course I could be wrong.
