I like my Megrez 80FD and would not wish to sell it, except for a better refractor I guess. I don't like having to use an extension tube, but at least it gives me the easy option to use binoviewers by simply omitting the extender and using a 1.25" diagonal (no OCS required; although perhaps only because I'm fairly myopic.) It suits the TV panoramic mount perfectly (for which I now have the eyepiece trays). Pick it up and I'm there! Nice birder, as well as a more than competent night-tourer. It's set up for the Argo Navis, too, but that's overkill.
So I love it. But I don't feel quite the same way about my scope as someone I knew who had a TV 102. He claimed he was going to be buried with it.
I'm not sure I'm ready for that level of committment.
