In the market for a 70'ish mm scope

Hi. I currently use a TS Optics 107mm triplet and I'm very happy with it. However, I would like something with a wider field of view that was a little more portable than the 107mm and I think that something in the 70mm range would suit.

I know this will be contentious and I know that there are a million opinions about all of this stuff, so....I have narrowed it down to:
a) WO Zenithstar 73mm f/5.9
b) WO Gran Turismo 71mm f/5.9
c) Sharpstar 76mm f/5.5
d) TS Optics 76mm f/5.5
e) TS Optics 70mm f/6
and, just for fun
f) Tecnosky 70mm f/6

All are triplets, with the exception of the WO Zenithstar.

In a nutshell, is any one of these particularly better than the others? Weight could be an issue that I need to take into consideration as I'd like to use it with my SA, rather than my HEQ6, for travelling. I could be using either an Olympus camera or a ZWO294 to image with.

Price isn't an issue.

Alternatively, convince me that your choice would be the way to go for me.
