OpticsPlanet.net was lucky enough to buy some closeout ETX spotting scopes from Meade, who also owns Weaver. This version of the ETX is called the
Weaver ETX-90 and it differs from the
Meade ETX-90 spotting scope only in the tube color and number of eyepieces provided. You get two eyepieces with the Weaver, instead of three with the Meade. Other than that, I could detect no difference. When you consider the price, this surely has to be one of the best buys on the spotting scope market. If I didn't already have all I need in spotting scopes, I would buy one, myself.
