I'm a big believer in the LX series, since I am a relatively recent purchaser of an LX200 12". Whether the Celestron is better for you depends on several things. One is what setup you will have with the telescopes. I'm naturally lazy and find a go-to the best way to go. If the LX has that and the Celestron doesn't, I would be inclined to go for the Meade. But all other things being equal, I would always opt for the bigger diameter. There's a huge difference for every couple of inches of aperture. Best wishes, Joe
