Re: Why is it?Posted By Ed Ashton |
Some things command high prices simply because they are scarce, not because they are better. Put a side-by-side comparison of a 4" Takahashi, AP, Vixen Fluorite and Televue refractor together, and I doubt if most people could tell the difference in image quality, but the AP will cost the most, the TV the least. The differences may be superficial, but AP's command "prestige", because you can't buy one off-the-shelf.
