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.
