Is that Rob O'Toole's scope? One of the only scopes on the planet that would look good with Moonlite's red anodized focusers ;^). Yes, I love the red. Would prefer the inserts be black, but the red is nice.

More aesthetics feedback (probably unwanted, but here goes... ;^)

I know your rocker boxes are a simple and rather elegant engineering solution, but my eyes are trained to dobs with square rockers. I'd like to see an option where you could have a SS more square in shape on the bottom. Probably would only need a couple extra pieces of tubing or so, but would look more substantial. I admit it would be purely aesthetic, not necessarily any better, and perhaps only preferred by a few people like me. Just thought I'd share.
