Still, by the time you factor in their field flattener at $285, the WO Star 71 is probably the better imaging scope, both FPL-53 but is faster to boot (for an extra US$100)

It never occurred to me to compare the boot times of refractors...

Unless my internet detective skills are getting rusty, I'm not seeing their specs...besides focal length and weight (3lbs). The WO is heavier but will have a flat field...and gulps 40% more light
I'm going to use it for Astrophotography and visual. The focuser unscrews so it will be airtravel carry on luggage size. I'll take it with me to Hawaii in a couple years.
I'm not buying it now even if it is on special at the moment. Probably wont get it for a nearly a year if I'm honest. I want that lightweight carbon fiber too. Its sooo pretty.

Apparently the first run of the SV60 apo will be completed in around 30 days. Looking forward to some reports, even though I bought the SV66ED instead.
