I'm getting ready to purchase a Tak Mewlon 250CRS. It's pricey at 9k and I want to make sure there are not better choices out there. Thoughts?

Canon 600mm L/4.0
Canon 1dMk4
Canon 1dsMk2
Canon 1v (35mm film)
AND A TON OF OTHER PHOTOGRAPHIC EQUIPMENT
AP Mach1 (on order)
MV AGUSTA f4
'00 Lafite Rothschild

I have owned a Mewlon250 for over 5 years and I believe it to be the best 10" scope in the world. I'll probably end up with a C14 someday, but given my druthers, I'd gladly move to a Mewlon 300 in a heartbeat.

David,

Barring the price, I do not see anyway you will not be pleased with the purchase. I have had an uncorrested M250S for two years and I have to think the CRS edition, corrected and cooled, will be a real pleasure above and beyond my fine example of this scope.
