The problem in Meade 12mm astrometric is that it is not very comfortable

Meade 9mm as it have only one small, very small circle in the middle. In
my opinion move the reticle is not properly and advantage comparing with
12mm astrometric. The 12mm have so much details that you could =
=93catch=94 a
star and guide virtually in any position.

If you want to guide in very dim stars it seems to me that celestron is
better. But for all other things I believe that 12mm is better. Meade
9mm is much more expensive and I don=B4t believe that it is better.
