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.

Agreed on the RedCat 51. I've looked a few samples now, all have been excellent.
As for the GT102, seems now we have an apples vs apples product code, the price is around $3900 (the $2700 mentioned earlier looks to be a la-la land figure ) direct from WO and $4000 to $4400 from local dealers (who have to respect Australian consumer law)
Is it a FSQ106 of CFF? Nup.
But for the price the performance is not bad at all....BTW I won the overall Malin award a few years back using a WO 80mm...which I thought at the time was excellent bang for buck.
Not much has changed IMHO.
