Quite the contrary as Olly will tell you.....

Except for the bloated blue stars

On CN I’m pretty sure I saw the tec140fl was corrected quite a bit better in blue and a little less well in green and red specifically at the request of imagers for the sake of keeping tight stars. So if you’ve got any AP ambitions then the fluorite model is probably worth the extra money. The ED certainly seems to do be well regarded though for a primarily visual design. 
 

ive not tried either a tek140 (hens teeth so not surprising) or a tsa 120 but If I had the options of either I’d take the tek for the extra aperture (while still being quite a light scope) and the romance factor (which is the only way to justify these things anyway ha).
