Tak FSQ106 comparison questions

Ok I am seriously looking at getting a wide field scope by years end to use with my currently idle FLI ProLine 16803. I hope to be able to mount the whole image train on the NJP accessory plate so it will ride side by side with the AG12, as the ED80-SXVH9 were doing HERE...due to my chip size (52mm diagonal) I am understandably considering a Tak FSQ106

My main question is that I am a bit confused about the differences between the various versions of the FSQ available ie. New Q, FSQ106ED, FSQ106EDXIII and FSQ106EDXIV...? Then there is the older FSQN version to consider second hand too..?

The image train I am envisaging is:

FSQ106 (Robofocus on focus knob) -> MMOAG with Lodestar -> CFW-5-7 -> ProLine16803.

My image train will be rather heavy, so which FSQ would be best suited to this do you think and why?

Thanks for any advice

Cheers

Mike
