120mm ED latest wisdom

All,
What is the latest wisdom in regards of the Chinese Skywatcher and similar 120mm f 7.5 ED doublets for VISUAL ASTRONOMY especially planets, double starts and moon?
There is a lot of information about them for AP use but I am only interested in VA and I am not certain how they are for that application.
How do they compare to a premium doublet like the Takahashi TSA-120 or a AP Star12ED (long discontinued but still around).
I have a Swiss AYO alt az mount which will carry easily up to 8 kg.
Cheers,
Peter
