You will not be disappointed with the optics of the FSQ. I used an FSQ-106 (not the N version) a long time ago. Disappointed I sold it. Hence placed an order for the new FSQ-106ED (should be here next month). Incredibly flat field, no need for additional field flatteners and with an 88mm image circle, vignetting is kept to a minimum. Revolutionary instrument indeed.

With the 5D it will deliver an image scale of 3.19 arcsec/pixel. Ideal for wide field work regardless of the seeing conditions. The only downside with such a wide field (154 x 232 arcmins) are gradients. Nothing flats and image processing can't remedy.
