Looks interesting, nonetheless, I won't be parting with my FS-102 any time soon. Yes, it's a doublet, but I don't have too much trouble with chromatic aberration and tricolour imaging. There is a difference in focus point between R, G & B filters, but I don't seem to have much difficulty combining the images in PI. I paid around that price including a reducer - will be interesting to see what price all the reducers/extenders and Tak accessories bring the price up to??
The new scope looks like it's a 2 inch focuser, rather than the 2.7inch focuser on the FS-102. I think the imaging circle is smaller as well, so I guess they've aimed this scope at the 8300 chip or DSLRs. I haven't used my scope with a full frame sensor, but I believe they are capable of illuminating such chips???
