Help me find the story…

Some time ago a gentleman here posted a story about an astronomer who, searching for his next telescope, made the observation that advocates of one instrument or another minimized the defects or their own preferred tool while expanding the faults of others. I thought the observation valuable and kept the story for some time but I seem to have misplaced it. Can anyone point me to the source?
