So, narrowing this dow - TV 101 quadruplet, Vixen FL102 doublet or a Northgroup 127 Triplet.
The TV NP101 is easily the best of the three you are now considering, whether it be for astrohotography or visual. As Greg says it is a 4 element Petzval design and very similar in design to the FSQ106.

I would have thought a 2nd hand one of those would be notably more expensive than the Vixen FL102S or the Chinese 127ED.
