Astro-Tech AT130 130mm vs Tak TSA 120

Hi
I have been been umming and aahing over these two scopes for the past couple of weeks and have decided that I will most likely import one or the other while the dollar is so good.
I plan to use winner for wide field imaging and although I realise that the Tak will undoubtedly offer a better overall image, is the $1000 price difference worth it (could be used to buy a couple of nice new eyepieces)

At the same time, there is not a lot of good unbiased information available on the AT 130. I believe that it is most likely a GSO in camo however that is not nescessarily a bad thing.

So I would be keen to hear from anyone who has purchased either of these scopes (particulary the AT130 in regards to QC etc) for some feed back prior to making the final decision.

Thanks
