I don't really need another 120mm refractor ......

[John]

I keep repeating the title of this thread to myself over and over this evening and I've hidden my wallet

But the force is strong ...... must resist, must resist

I hear the Tak triplets are the ones to beat...

Very nice!!

Glad I haven't got any cash at the moment, decision made for me!

By heck John, if you have £2600 in your wallet you have money to burn     you have a 120ED so you are correct......you dont need another 120 frac 

[Alan White]

Of course you do John.........the dark side beckons.......  

Of course you don't John..........the sensible side beckons......

 

I will pull up a seat now and watch how this unfolds

The TSA 120 is a lovely scope by all accounts, it looks great too, but you so don't need it with the scopes you have, John.

Still, need and want are two entirely different things so I hope you've hidden your wallet well

You can only look through them one at a time.

try that one

[John]

I think the weather has dropped me a big hint this evening. I put the TMB 130 out under a decent sky. 40 mins later .......

I'm not using the ones I've got as much as they deserve - got to draw a line somewhere

 

 

[Alan White]

That almost sounds convincing John,

when does the new one arrive.

[Scooot]

If you don't need it now you could just keep it to one side until you do?  

[Pig]

I couldn't resist having a peek  its very tempting but not far enough away from the price of a new 120, I am sure the stock focusers work ok.

I dont understand. You got 40mins under decent skies with a TMB 130. 

Sell everything else, they are just distracting you from the TMB.

[ronin]

You could look upon it as having a duty to SGL to buy it, then put both 120's side by side and do a detailed comparison. Someone will ask how a top specification scope like a Tak compares to the more normal SW 120ED's and is it worth the additional outlay for one. Then youwill have the answer for them. Just a simple drive along the M4 and there you are.

[mikeDnight]

It's definitely worth the additional outlay for the TSA 120. Though the SW ED's are wonderful scopes, the TSA is in a completely different league in every way.
