[AZ-Observing] The Orion 120mm ED Refractor

I am not at present in the market for a refractor, but if I were to get
one it would be a 5". I noticed that Orion has a new OTA 120mm ED
refractor they call an APO. This seems to be a bit expensive considering
that it is probably mass produced, the tube probably does not compare to
tubes for TMB's and Takahashi's, and it probably is not a full APO.
Unless those selling used refractors on Astromart have become even more
greedy since the last I looked a couple years ago, it probably would be
better to get a used one that has a good reputation and is known for
sure to be an APO. Any opinions on the Orion ED?
