Greg, the Tak FC-100's show LESS halation than the W.O triplets. All the W.O triplets I can best describe as semi-apochromatic (just making the lens from FPL53 does NOT make it apochromatic, as we all know - though Cloudy Nights village iddiots will tell you otherwise).
I'll be frank - W.O are all glitz with only a modicum of glamour. They perform probably better than most doublets, but not a lot more. In fact, the Skywatcher Esprit triplets are a MUCH better option, and VERY good image quality wise

Noone is expecting Tak quality at WO prices. I must say though I like my WO Redcat 51. Its a little ripper.
Not a lot of experience with their scopes. I did have a Lomo 80mm APO triplet lensed WO scope. It was way out of collimation and I had to repair it. A long time ago though.
I've seen lots of images now from the plethora of FPL 53 triplets and they all seem rather good. Not AP, Tak or CFF territory but still capable of some lovely images.
