Any experience with Orion Arcadia 78mm scope? (1 Viewer)

I keep getting literature from the Orion folks (http://www.telescope.com). I've seen some reviews
in astronomy forums of their refractors and maks, but I've never heard or seen any reviews of their spotting scopes.

Does anyone have experience with these? I'm not looking...I've got a Ziess 85, but the price-point makes it worth investigating for
some folks considering getting into birding with little budget to
start.

I've a reveiw on my web page of the Orion 80mm F/5 Shorttube Refractor which may help.

Thanks Chris...your review is pretty consistent with what I've seen with other Orion scopes when used for astronomy. It's what makes me wonder if their spotting scopes can additionally hold up.
