The Esprit is a safe buy and includes a flattener. It's a high quality scope.
The Saxon 102 FCD100 triplet would be better for double duty as a visual/imaging scope. The quality may not be quite as good. Astro anarchy (astro pete's) is a reputable dealer which sells both brands - ask them if the focuser is good enough for imaging and also ask if they can supply a suitable reducer/flattener.
