I’ve owned an 8 Edge HD.  I did have various issues with mine, but it’s a capable scope when it’s right. 
Absolutely rubbish weather in my part of the UK since I got my new rig last week, and the forecast is not good any time soon.

I will post up my findings on everything when I get chance to test properly on some decent skies 🙁

Can't wait to hear about your first use of the M210 on the mount. Hope the weather improves soon. Monday I'll be setting up the scope on the AZ100 at my wife's parents' house a little way away from the city to view the Jupiter/ Saturn conjunction. Keeping my fingers crossed our forecast for clear skies holds through then! 

Omg.... you guys are seriously making me want to change out my EdgeHD 8 for a Mewlon 210!!! I've been fiending for one of those for a while now, with everything I've read about the quality of planetary viewing.

I am in the same boat, but one day soon I hope.

I have fondled it to death at both the IAS and Astrofest, Dave of Rowan photographed me alongside.
Also shows the Stella Mira 80mm just for @johninderby
 

I admire your ability to resist... If I would see it in person, I'm sure I'd just flop down the credit card. Ha ha. The mount looks like an evolution of the Losmandy AZ8, maybe with some T-Rex thrown in... 

Man do I want this mount, but can't really afford it currently. Someday..... 🤩
