Help needed: Tak 60 or TV 60?

Hi, I am interested in buying a small 60mm APO for the following reasons:
(a) for travel and (b) for astrophotography with my Canon 20D. I have settled on either the Tak 60 or the new Televue 60mm.

From some reviews, people have mentioned it was a pain swapping accessories in the Tak 60 to get various EP's to focus. I am planning to use Naglers and Radians. Does anyone know what this will entail?

Does the Tak 60 come with a Camera Angle Adjuster? I do not think the Televue 60 does, nor do I think the TV comes with a focal reducer. For those reasons I am more on the Tak side.

Do you prefer one over the other?

Many thanks for your opinion,
Ivan

I can't respond to your question, however you may want to add the William Optics 66mm APO to your list. I believe it is priced less than either the TV or Tak.
