You cannot compare apples and oranges. 
The WO fluorite range should be seen as in the higher end of scopes, while the 127ED is in the lower to middle range.
For those of us who can't afford AU$6000 for a scope, the 127ED is a very good alternative within most of our budgets, it is suitable for both visual and AP which gives very satisfying results - in my (possibly biased) opinion

Agree with your point but not your prices
FLT110 is $2799 at Andrews. FLT132 a bit closer at $5499. Not that I'm spruiking anyone.
