I ordered an LX90 without UHTC from one of Meade's authorized dealers in early February. Initially the backorder was about 2 weeks. Then March 19 was the delivery date. A recent call confirmed that delivery is now April 19. What are your experiences with Meade and backorders? Should I expect to wait even longer than April 19? Anyone else waiting on a LX90 now? How long have you been waiting? Are all dealers experiencing the same delays?

Jason - I ordered a 10" LX200gps UHTC on Feb 7 and was told that it would take 8 weeks to arrive. So, that should be about April 4. So, I'm pretty calm now with time to plan for the scope and order some accessories. But, after April 4, I will probably go nuts until it shows up.

I ordered a 7" tube only with UHTC coatings in January. I was told a 1 month wait at first. When the month was up, I called and was then told 4 months. So I canceled my order, and bought something else. Im without a scope right now is why I did this. I will get one when theyre readily available. The day will come when theyre in stock.
