Orion 120ST advice

I'm considering buying an Orion 120ST as a rich field, grab and go scope. I was wondering if anyone out there owns one, or has experience with one. I would like to know how it handles magnification. I was looking in their catalog, and in one place they say that it's highest theoretical magnification is 203x, and in another place it says 283x. Would it handle anywhere near that without image breakdown? If you have any experience with this scope, please drop me a line and let me know.
Thanks guys,
Mike
