Barry, I echo your evaluation and still operating a slight crippled Orion 1
from circa 2007. And that was purchased used when Stan, Paul Clinton and the
gang ran the place.

*Barry,*
*Some years ago, about 6 or 7, I thought of replacing my 565 with the
Orion
II 566. I was fortunate to be able to have both of them on my bench and
they both really perform. The O II has a real nice color screen and it
may
be enough to make the trade. The actual operation was much the same. I
really could not tell any real difference. The O II really does look
great. I kept my 565 and am still using it today.*
