My Celestron 8 is pre Tasco take over scope.

Then again you aren't claiming it cost more than Scotty's car and is the top
of the line telescope and better than anything anybody else on this group
has... are you?

You simply made a statement that you have a telescope and it's make. You
enjoy the scope for it's purpose and not because it may be of better quality
than someone else's.

Bob purchases items based on cost, bragging purposes and I doubt he gets
much use of his much bragged about telescope in a city like NYC.
