Ouch. It will be interesting to see the initial images though. It could be an interesting scope.

The focal length is not massively different over the 106 from 530 to 650mm which is still very widefield. The extra aperture though should pick up more faint detail in less time and better resolution of stars which can be a bit vague on 106ED widefield images.
