They are all wonderful scopes... and IMHO they are simply too close to each other to REALLY tell much of a difference.
There might be some mechanical/appearance differences, but at the eyepiece I think they will be pretty much the same... (besides small difference in FOV due to the differences in Focal Length between scopes)
Just my humble .02 cents... spend them wisely... 8)

I've tried some of these. Great views in all of them.
I think the unit-to-unit variations are
larger than differences between the models. Pick whichever
F-ratio suits you best, and try to get a good one. Most of
the TV NP-101 / NP-127 I've seen were out of collimation; not
sure whats going on with that but TV can easily and quickly
fix it.
