The original Esprit series were indeed pulled due to collimation issues with the quadruplet version. They could not correct it so instead redesigned it as a triplet with a separate flattener. You will also read a few reviews of extreme frustration over flattener spacing - Skywatcher's figures are apparently wrong - so you will need to experiment. This seems more prevalent with the 80 than the 100 and up.
The guy on CN doesn't own the FSQ - he borrws various other brands of scopes and does image comparisons of the SW against them - so far he's done the FSQ and an AP150 and I think there was a 120 from TEC of AP in there too.
The Esprit series is stacking up well. Very, VERY slight halation but otherwise pretty darned good!
