DGM Optics telescopes

Dear All,
I was wondering what kind of experience people have had out there with Mr. McShane's products. There are some great reviews out there, but I thought it might be nice to get more reflections of his unique off-axis designs. What size do you have, what do you look at them with, how do they compare in your mind to other scopes? I'm considering getting one as a second scope for planetary, clusters, and some mild-mannered Messiers when its too cold or too light polluted to drag out the 12.5

I really love my OA 4.0. Of course I have never had really had anything but cheapo scopes, so I can't say how it would compare to a large apeture telescope, but as only an $800 scope, it gives incredible sharp views of the planets and gives ultra contrasty images on the deep sky images that it is capable of seeing (with the limited apeture). Very easy to grap and go as my setup weighs only like 20 lbs. Hope that helps.
