to Quark or not to Quark??

Hello! my name is Eddie, i am new to Charlie Bates, love the movement, i live just outside of Toronto Canada an have been an avid amateur astronomer my whole life practically, in the last year i have discovered a passion for solar after looking through a PST. One week later i bought a PST and loved it, a month later i bought a Lunt 60 tilt tuned and b1200 with feather touch, loved that, then recently had it pressure tune retrofitted by Lunt which i greatly enjoy, however, my first choice was a Quark when i was shopping around originally.
Unfortunately i was discouraged by the endless negative reviews i read online about Daystars quality control, they seem to be fantastic when they work, if there are those out there who would be willing to lend their knowledge and experience i greatly appreciate it. Basically what I'm asking is, would anyone out there sell their Lunt LS60 for a Quark Chromosphere if they were offered a good one? I'm curious, i intend on imaging soon and i realize that full disc is not easy with the quark and thats ok. Has Daystar corrected their issues? its confusing because in the heap of negative reviews, there are those who would not trade their quark for anything and swear it blows away any dedicated scope they've owned.
Thank you!!
