Nothing else really comes close except the TEC110 flourite F5.6.
I have used both. The TEC gives better colour, the Tak is more tanklike and strong. FSQ is probably the easier to use overall as its built specifically for imaging. A slight green bias could be corrected by flocking the interior if you wanted to go that route or just handle it in processing.
FSQ 106 can take any camera. Most of those smaller scopes lock you into small chips and don't have quality accessories and you could be setting yourself up for constant gear fiddle and eventual upset and selling at a loss to get one later anyway.

Just out if interest, apparently Moonlite is now making 3.6" focusers (and optional rotators) for Tak scopes:
