LOL! Not yet Mike. I am now going to wait a bit, though, before I go ahead and order a William Optics FLT132 as this 120ED may fit the bill if it's competitively priced. I think that these new Skywatchers are going to give W.O. a run for their money - and will probably force W.O. to move even further up-market if they want to maintain a differentiator. After having the little W.O. Petzvals for a little while now, I'm an absolute convert to the heavier, machined alloy OTA/crayford design. They're just a beautiful thing to hold.... and the optics aren't bad either. I had the 66mm out for first light in dark-ish skies the other night at the Oaks and its views were fabulous for such a small scope. I guess that the 120ED will be substantially heavier than the current design.
Price? Haven't heard yet.....
Cheers
Chris
