I have a Telrad but I hear more people using the EZ Finder which Orion is marketing. Like to hear of people who have tried both and what their likes and dislikes were between the two.

The Telrad is superior by a long shot! I have had both and the Telrad is so much better and versatile.
The biggest disclamer is its size and weight, but they really aren't that bad. Also, the Telrad uses AA batteries which are a lot cheaper and last longer than the ones in the EZ finder and other red dot types.
AND, the adjustments on the Telrad are precision feeling as compared to the difficult and sometimes non responsive wheels on the other types.
