Hi Lucas, My choise would be to look at the Tak 130. At the price it is hard to beat. Roland Christen has even stated that the TOA 130 is the best colour corrected scope on the market. Thats a big statement from him. For what it's worth with any of the triplets mentioned you will undoubtedly need a field flattener and you are better to buy a scope which has one made for it. Tak scopes all come from the factory with a Strell of 98 or better. Just be aware that all these scopes are quite heavy, the TOA 130 is around the 11 to 12 KG mark and can be purchased with either the 2.7" focuser or the big 4" focuser at extra cost.
I looked very hard at the 130 but ended up buying the 120 based on weight concerns and cost. I might add I am very happy with both the 120 and FSQ I own. Tak may be almost mass produced but they are up there with the best.
