I had a 120mm refractor, but since it's achro, not APO, it's not considered premium. But yeah, I did notice the lack of refractors...trend?

Just give me a dark, clear, steady starry sky and no one gets hurt.

Did anyone notice how few premium 5" plus refractors there were
at CalStar? Even the few imagers I saw had
SN's or Newts or SCTs.
What's up with that?
I felt I was APO Aperture king with my 114mm.
Perhaps I just didn't notice.
