Celestron 8i

I see very few posts about this scope in most forums as well as very few ads where this scope is for sale....

Is this due to the fact that the scope doesn't sell well? Or that it works very well right out of the box i.e. it's a keeper?

Just curious as i'm considering my need for more aperture as well as portability and GoTo...and this scope seems as if it'll be the right fit.

Probably 'cause this is a more entry level scope as opposed to the Nexstar GPS and CGE lines. There has been some talk and lots of advertising on the new "Special addition" 8i.
