The reduced TS130 becomes a f5,5, six element full frame flat field scope, with slightly more aperture than the 121SDQ, and is significantly cheaper (1500 euro cheaper for the combined TS130 and 3" reducer corrector). Numbers based on TS pricing.

. It can also be used at native f7, yes, and some buyers may want dual focal length capability.

The Quint is a nice scope, but over priced and with no flexibility in terms of configuration. My opinion sure, spend your money as you see fit.
that's a fair point of view, but there is a lot of appeal (to me at least) in a scope (like the 121sdq) that doesnt require specific precise spacing. Imaging time is short enough without wasting hours on getting spacing spot on. I dont have the 121sdq but an Askar 400 that is a similar design and I love that aspect of it compared to my Espirit 100ed.
