Doron, I only used the Arsat PC for a couple of weeks, but still work with another Nikon-mount lens from the same factory (20mm/3.5). In general I found quality quite good, especially considering prices. Both the Arsat PC and my 20mm hardly show any distortion. Build quality is OK as well, if you like lenses developed by a tank designer :-) The Arsat is completely metal-built and therefor weighs quite a lot. In my case (this counts for both lenses again) focussing needed a bit more use of force than I've been used to with my Nikkors. I'm not that much into AF cameras like your N90x, but since the lens mount is just Nikon F (no AI or AIS), it might fit your camera, but that's as far as it goes then. So if you don't mind buying a lens that will only work in manual or aperture priority mode, I'd say the Arsat is a good choice. BTW: If I'm not mistaken the same factory (Arsenal) also produces a 2x teleconverter, that doubles as a macro extension tube. Quality the same as above mentioned lenses, but at least this one's AI-mount.

Optical/build quality? F90X compatibility?
