Tim, I think they are worth the money to the people that buy them the same way that a Rolex watch is to some people. The quality in both is exquisite.Tim Libert said:

Darian's response is right on. We had a Q7 at work and just the OTA was something like $7000 about 20 years ago when we bought it. We used it as a collimator! Also did full AC interferometry on the thing and it was really good wavefront...not perfect, but so much better than other brands (we had them all). If it's capability and performance you want...could get more (bigger and great wavefront) elsewhere...but for something to enjoy looking AT and through - the Questars are classic head-turners. My Zeiss 20x60 IS bino is like that...I like flashing it and using it. OH...if $$$ is NO object...get the Q7! Tom Dey
