Skywatcher BD ED120, or WO Megrez 120, or LP 110 ED?

Opinons? I'm looking to add a moderate size refractor to the arsenal. There's not that much in these prices but all need a Losmandy dovetail added to the total.

Skywatcher BD ED120 OTA F/7.5 2" Crayford with 10:1 Fine adjustment

William Optics Megrez 120 120mm f/7.5 APO refractor FPL-53 lens with STM coatings and DDG 3.5" focuser (maybe needs rings)

Long Perng ED APO 110mm f/6 quadruplet refractor with ED FPL-51+NBM51 lens and 2.7" 11:1 microfocuser (has mixed reviews)

Photography mainly Peter, but some visual. Something to do wider fields than my SCT. If I add an SBS plate I expect I can put them both on the G11 at once.

TS are nice, but the ones I was considering are available 15Km away from here. Not 16,000Km.

if it were me i'd be picking up the 120ED that has sat in the classifieds here for a while, the TS/AStrotech/Sharpstar are very good, but if you want local-ish get the 120, & upgrade the focuser
