Look forward to your opinion on its performance
I see that Andrews have dropped their price to $4999 which is still about a $1000 more than buying direct from WO on ebay with the standard focuser. It is doubtful that Andrews would drop their price down to this but one can only ask.

I have had a chance to compare my TOA-130 and FLT-132 and found that there isn't a whole lot in it. I think the Tak has slightly better contrast and slightly better pin point stars (particularly at low powers) but the WO at nearly half the price is definitely a winner. Of course the Feathertouch focuser on the WO is absolutely fantastic. My Tak has the Feathertouch 10:1 pinion fitted but is still not as nice as the WO Feathertouch option.

The in an out focus on the FLT-132 is textbook perfect by the way so no complaints there.

Cheers,

Steve
