what do you have to say?

I have no experience with the second and third but I am a big fan of the FC-76. I reviewed it for Astronomy Now magazine a few years ago. I also wrote a review of it on my own website before that. Link below.

Great optical quality and very portable because it splits in two.

I'd choose them in that order.

I've read that there isn't much difference visually between the FC76 and SD81, how true that is I don't know.   For me the 76 edges it because of the option to add the Q extender.
