G'day Morton. Any chance you could buy your SV110ED back, seeing as you liked it so much?
Those SW ED100's are great value, and I thought the ones I've looked through had pretty good optics. Mechanically not as good, but you could always throw on a Feather Touch or Moonlite focuser.
But hey, you're talking 4" Taks, and it doesn't get much better than that. Although I decided on an NP101is for maximum field of view observing, and I wouldn't sell that for any other 4" telescope. I'm not sure how much they are second hand. But astronomy doesn't get much better than a NP101, 31 Nagler and really dark skies.
A TSA 102 or FC 100DF would be my pick of the 4" Tak scopes. There's a guy on CN's who churns scopes like dirty socks and he said the FS series was quite variable in optical quality. Doesn't mean that you wouldn't end up with a fantastic example of one though.
