I know this is high end but this is a real tough competitor for the FSQ which is more expensive. A little bit more aperture and a fluorite triplet which theoretically would be better corrected than a modified Petsval quadruplet (not necessarily but likely).

A bit more focal length than an FSQ but I think given its obvious Astrophysics Traveller's inspiration it will become a collector scope in the future.
When you look at TEC scopes you are looking at a parallel track to the development of Astrophysics a decade or so ago that is no longer practically available.
