Hi,
You may want to consider another option considering you want to double for visual and imaging.
A 6"/F6 Maksutov Newtonian may be a better compromise for you. You could consider either the MN 61 (6"/F6) from Intes in Russia or the MN 66 (6"/F6) from Intes Micro in Russia. Very similar, but different scopes, different companies and each as good as the other. The MN61 was also sold in the USA by Orion as the Orion Argonaut. These scopes make excellent imaging platforms and are superb visual instruments of very high quality. Quality wise these scopes are light years ahead of the Meade and Celestron scopes and on a par with the FLT 110. Excepting you're getting a lot more aperture over the APO.
Intes MIcro no longer produce scopes but you can certainly still buy the MN61 as a new scope and both pop up reasonably frequently on the second hand market. A new MN61 will cost less than the FLT 110 and easily outperform it.
Eddie Trimarchi who is an IIS forum member and one of Australias best imagers uses an Intes MN61 exclusively.
