Yes I've heard it was good.

The Feathertouch focuser would be perfect. The lens would be very very good. You need rings, a case, a flattener and a reducer plus 92mm is a bit small in my opinion.

What camera were you planning to use? You have an STL11 don't you?

92mm is a bit lacking in aperture for an STL11 to shine in my opinion.

FSQ type aperture of 106mm up is when it shines. 105 to 115mm would be good for widefield. 130mm would be good for medium wide field and some galaxies, 150-160mm is the sweet spot for APOs in terms of performance , flexibility, portability,cutting through the seeing and the ability to image a very wide range of targets from nebulas to brighter galaxies.
