I've got the Esprit 120. Sadly, you still have the same quality control on their high end scopes, so I'd pick my retailer carefully as you may need to be sorting out some issues. My issues were:

* Missing flattener
* Focuser very poorly adjusted (common issue with these)
* Focuser locking mechanism fell off after a short period

Might be able to get the focuser working well, but I bought a Moonlite instead.

That's all the negatives, but there's one real positive: crazy sharp!

Besides all those negatives above, I'm very happy with my Esprit. Just setting expectations that it may not be perfect out of the box due to potential QC issues.
