I was going to mention this some time back, but thought it pointless, and probably still is.
At the time I bought my lemon NG127, I was also offered a Vixen FL102S. The Vixen was $1500, with new Moonlite focuser, Losmandy D rail and included the original focuser too. The NG127 offered only the Moonlite focuser, robofocus and some Televue adapters for the odd size focuser. That was $2200.
I bought the NG127, thinking the aperture would compensate. OH, how VERY wrong I was, and VERY VERY quickly re-organised to purchase the Vixen FL102S, which was not only cheaper, but LIGHT YEARS ahead in every single way, especially INCREIBLE optics (base standard FL102S were Strehl 0.995. I have since had this one reported - seeing it is an AD-VIX branded one, which is INTERNAL JAPANESE MARKET / Hand select only - at Strehl 0.998).
So, I am VERY at liberty to compare a Vixen Fl102S to the NG127.
Simply, there is NO COMPARISON. NIL.
