No shit, Sherlock!  :-)

And there are other Azaris in the mix (with RCOS).

You might find this interesting, too.  In the Yahoo "tec-scopes" group

Hi Valery and all,

I was the first recipient of a RCOS/Aries ion milled optical set and,
having owned a hand/machine polished RC, I can attest to the improved
surface smoothness. Although the p-v wave front error is about 1/6
wave, the rms error is an amazing 1/55 wave. The high quality of the
optics was apparent the moment I first looked through this instrument.

I agree with Valery: The high-tech approach to complex optical figures
has advantages.

Clear skies,
Dan Azari

And he was fooled by Meade's advertising?  What a crock.
