Small ED/APO refractors - what are the options?

Hi all,

I'm thinking of purchasing a small ED/APO refractor and wondered about the pros and cons of different models. I'd prefer something below 80mm and it would do multiple duties as:

small 'grab & go'
wide-field imager
guidescope
portable eclipse rig
and possibly even as an over-sized finderscope.

So what are the pros & cons of these options?
Tak FSC60, WO Zenithstar 71, Stellarvue SV060EDS - any others worth considering?

Thanks in advance,
Pete
