Stellarvue SVQ100 or Sky-Watcher Esprit 100 for imaging?

Hey guys!

I ordered the Sky-Watcher EQ6 R Pro mount and need to find an imaging scope for it. I have been leaning towards the Stellarvue mostly for what appears to be superb optics (Strehl sheet for each scope) They also seem to have great customer service. On the other hand I have read great things about the Esprit line and their good customer service as well.

I have been checking the images on astrobin.com and both scopes can produce outstanding images. The focal length is slightly longer on the Stellarvue which is probably trivial. The Esprit is $500 less expensive which will allow me to use that cash for a finder scope & guide camera...

So does one have much better fit and finish over the other? Are the Stellarview optics better? I have never seen either of these scope in person and have to purchase sight unseen so I am hoping for some good feedback.
