Best Meade dealer

[bobbie]

I'm interested in purchasing a 8" lx-90. Since the Meade's US prices are all about the same, does anyone have any particular experiences with dealers good or bad? In terms of service/support, shipping etc.  I greatly appreciate any help.

Both are reputable vendors.

I've used OPT:

And Woodland Hills:

To purchase large Meade scopes through. LX200GPS 12" & LX90 ACF 12". Both did an excellent job of providing support. This especially is vital - as Meade's Customer-Service at the time was horrible! That's why I wouldn't recommend using Amazon.com. If something goes wrong - you want people who are experienced in handling the corporations' idiocy. Try that with Amazon!

I also have used Agena - often the best prices and free shipping. I got my new Skywatcher 150mm Mak through Agena. And a plethora of parts. Here they is:

All of these are based in California, and I'm up in Vermont.

Happy hunting -
