I purchased a second hand TEC160FL but I haven't had the opportunity to use it. So now I have four refractors not getting much use.

Holy cow! Personally I think the 160 may be all the scope you will need. A 180 gives that extra resolution but I think in 90% of your images the 160 is a nice balance of portability, resolution and weight.
Do you realise how rare an AP160 is and how much they go for and thats not fluorite either? Man you are sitting on gold.
If you got an extension tube just the right length you can use the awesome AP155TCC reducer/corrector as Yuri does not believe in reducers - grrrr. I have seen shots with this setup and it would be worth going for. I should do it for my 180. If you could do the AP 155TCC and use a MMOAG you would have one awesome machine there. Probably 2nd to none.
