But hey, what are these issues with the 100? It'd be useful to check mine for these...
I didn't know specifically what the issues were, I just saw vague mention of them having "issues" when I was looking for info on the 120. I just did a quick search and found a post on CN where the Skywatcher rep said that they pulled the original 100 due to collimation issues; apparently that one is no longer available and there's no known issues with the 100's currently shipping.

Always worth doing your own research before buying though, things change, more info becomes available etc.
