I've got the RASA V1 & for me it's been a love hate relationship with the scope, don't get me wrong when you get it dialled in its phenomenal. However I've find bigger sensors bring bigger problems as tilt is picked up more than in a slower scope. The centre lens group is another weakness where they can come loose even if you are careful not overtightening it. Of course being the V1 mirror flop can be a real pain to. Another design feature I think they should come with is an M54 threaded adapter for full frame cameras as even the M48 ones cause a lot of vignetting so be sure your flats are good.
