I have the AT 111 mm APO and it is my favorite scope. I got back into astronomy a few years ago. I had a damaged C8, and while it was being repaired I stopped by Astronomics in Norman and picked up a AR5 on a LXD75 mount, the display model for $500. I also found myself tempted by the AT 66 mm and a closeout on the Meade monochrome and color DSI cameras.
To my surprise I found myself using the AT 66 more then the AR5. And, what was more surprising is I found with CCD imaging that I could image and thus see more from my backyard with the small scope than I could with the C8 under dark skies in Oklahoma.
At this years NEAF I had a chance to buy the AT 111 mm and have not been disappointed. I have it out every chance I get. I agree with the review comments about the case holding more then just the scope. But I find myself carrying several cases anyway - so it has not been a problem. The AT 111 mm is a tremendous scope.
