I'm thinking of giving it as a gift to a beginner.

It's a great choice hhEb..... And generous too. If I may be so bold as to say it.
I am not familiar with this particular Mak, but since I have a Meade ETX 90, it is very similar to your excellent choice.
Lightweight; hugely portable; great optics; easy to set up etc. etc., super for photography
(but not the way i tried recently...with my cellphone, stuck to the eyepiece...pls don't ask why)
Other technical aspects / comparison is beyond my humble knowledge. No doubt numerous other BAUTzens, more knowledgeable than I, would shed better light for you.
The recepient, should love it, lucky thang!
