You will find the Navy Mark 3 far better than a Davis Plastic . The mirrors are bigger, the frame is more stable when exposed to heat, the extra weight will stablize the image in wind, better optics, easier to maintain, shares parts with a Plath, great grip, and collectable. The 6x30 scope will give the best sight picture for Sun observations and the 4x40 will give the brightest picture for star observations.
