They all have CNC tubes, black diamond colour, dual speed Crayford focuser and FPL53 lenses on the 100 & 120, all are ED.
My first was the 120, and I was so impressed I bought a 100 pre-owned in mint when it came along, then the other two.
The 80mm model has FPL53 as well !25585 wrote: ↑Wed Jun 02, 2021 1:09 pm I have all 4 Equinox refractor sizes; 66, 80, 100 & 120.

SW have discontinued the Equinox form factor, but Orion Eons are the same I believe, for those aperture sizes, all are worth considering if you want a deluxe scope at good price. The tube rings are CNC and strong.
I use the 100 & 120 most, 100 a bit more. 120 Equinox is excellent optically, its almost as apochromatic as my Takahashi FC100DL. I replaced the 120's OE focuser with a 2" Moonlite, which is a bit stronger for my heavy eyepieces.
