If CF is a must then Dannat's 90mm triplet would be an excellent choice or in a shorter FL the Orion CF80 or I believe there's a Stellarvue 80EDT on a-mart.
A touch more lucre, but definately a cut above I would think.
Cheers Peter - no, CF isn't a 'must' for me, but as any scope I purchase would be used solely for imaging, decent optics are.
The lack of rave reviews is probably telling, but sometimes newer models take a wee while for the review floodgates to open.
Do you have any links or recall where you read some reviews of this particular scope?
All the best
