Because that is what I currently have. If I wanted one scope to do everything, then it has to be the FSQ line - FSQ-85, FSQ-106 or FSQ-130.
Only the -85is under 5K, but the Esprit does the same, just as effectively, though built NOWHERE near as nicely. Optically though, it's close enough!
No Glen, sorry, I cannot think of any other scope I'd want again than the FSQ's, both visually and imaging. I adore my A-P Star 12ED, but it is not particularly practical as an imager (I can reduce it to f/6 but that's it). Conversely, the Esprit is only a so-so visual scope. Happy medium and exquisite optics - FSQ.
It's not snobbery, it's reality, otherwise so many hundred top imagers wouldn't bother.
