Congratulations on the scope. I have had mine nearly a year now and have been more then been impressed with its optical and build qualities. For me it is a perfect size for decent planatary [esp.] and DSO viewing and yet remaining portable. The FPL-53 glass displays no zonal errors, the image is flat and bright and CA is really minimal.
I had at one stage desires to buy a WO 132 APO but really the increase in any optical qualities would be minimal and not cost effective. My 120ED gives 85 -90 % performance as close to my colleagues TV127 which is 3x times + the price. It is a keeper scope.
