Who's optics are better?

Post by borbital »

I've decided I'm going to get either a Meade 2130, 2114 or Celestron 114GT. Their prices are $165, $169 & $150 respectively. The Meades are refurb's from ebay's store and the Celestron is a used one but is said to be in great shape (but with only one eyepiece (10mm) while the meade's come with more than one.

These are in my price range but does one have better optics than the other? I guess my real question is which would you guys' choose?
