Just got an e-mail announcing the new LXD75 which they think may replace the LXD55...features such as PEC, higher precision gears, more substantial tripod legs are just a few of the features mentioned.

I think that with any new line, there are bound to be a few bugs they hadn't planned on. My LXD55 AR5 rocks and I see no reason in changing it for the new line. I don't use the tripod ( too low for me) instead I have the AR5 mounted on a 56" pier and WOW! what a difference in stability and ease-of-use. I've received my Baader filters ( FringeKiller + Moon and Skyglow) and it has corrected the false colour I saw on Jupiter and Saturn.
So, yes it will be nice to see the LXD75 line, but I see no reason to change what I have. : )

I just saw adds on internet sites over the weekend for the LXD75 series. I have been wanting a refractor for some time now and may pre-order the 5" LXD75. But I need to sell off my LX-90 first.
Also I dont think it will start shipping until July
