Trying to decide on APO refractor

Hi everyone,

Well Astrofest has done it again and i am now looking to go into the world of APO refractors.

My budget is roughly $3.5k to $4k and given my imager (QHY9) I am probably looking at getting a 100 to 110 mm scope.

Now this is a crowded field in the refractor market and my knowledge of Refractors is not the greatest.

the models that have perked my interest so far are as follows,

Stellavue SVR102-T
APM 107-700
William Optics A 102FTL

All these scopes are within my budget (ablit two would have to be imported as i can't find Australian suppliers). I was wondering what peoples opinions of them where (atm i am leaning towards the SVR102). Also if people have any other OTA suggestions.
