Summary: 

My favorite sextant is the full size Freiberger, they are very well made
aluminum sextants and the cost is very reasonable (around $400 plus $30
if you want a semi-silvered mirror).  I should probally point out that I
really wanted a Cassens & Plath but couldn't bring myself to shell out
close to $700 for one.  (I tried, I REALLY tried.)  So it would be good
to hear from some folks with experiance with plastic sextants.

If anyone is interested I can suggest some places to shop for reasonably
priced sextants.
