I haven't used an ED100 but had an ED80. Nice scope but basically cheapish structure like the focuser and the tube and fittings.
The Bintel 102 on the other hand appears to be from the Pern Long factory in Taiwan. These are the guys who make the Williams Optics scopes and rebranded as other scopes like Astrotech etc etc.
They are a step up in quality and whilst not a Takahashi they would be a very nice scope indeed. Also you would probably find that William Optics accessories all fit it quite well as they are the same manufacturer.
So if you wanted a 10:1 or 6:1 microfocuser there is a good chance the Williams Optics one will fit it.
I have an Astrotech 66ED which is a cheap little scope but its fit and finish amazes me and it has a lovely 10:1 microfocuser etc and I use it as a guide scope and it works very well. It would be a Pern Long product rebadged.
