The problem is that so few people do this, and needs are so specialized, that head-to-head comparisons are really hard.
I never understand why people build things like this out of legos. They really not a good substrate for microscope parts. I know it's fun and they're easy to get, but the other parts of the scope are so demanding that you might as well go the full way and design/print 3D plastic (solid body) or use aluminum.

Think, Lego chosen because it is really good for prototyping & and widely used for education.
And according such projects like MicroscoPy (or any other Lego-based project) main target is not create "production ready thing", but instead learn how things could be invented using basic building blocks.
