The biggest advantage is that it will not require a field flattener of any kind... straight out of the box it can throw a dead flat field across a 35mm sensor. so even when you upgrade to an FLI Proline 16803 16mp camera, you still will not suffer from curved fields.

The Sky90 will need a flattener, and probably a reducer in order to make it a very good imaging scope, the TMB will need a flattener, however being F/5.2 (or is it F/5.5?) it wont need focal reduction as its already very fast.. The babyQ is F/5 out of the box... Its fast, it has a dead flat field. Its everything the FSQ106 is, minus 21mm of aperture. How many awesome images do you see from the FSQ106?
