tempo in Beethoven op. 111 first mvt.

What tempo do you feel is best for the first mvt. of Beethoven's Sonata op. 111? I have been experimenting with a number of ideas today, it seems to me that the range right around quarter=100 sounds good. What do you think?

Probably should go a few ticks faster than that. My understanding is that Beethoven intends the allegro section to be exactly double-tempo the maestoso, which is around quarter=60.

This isn't the quarter note is it?

But I think we can trust Czerny and Moscheles.

Definitely a printing error... I hope!
What is the full source?
I looked up a different metronomizations, from Rosenblaum, "Performance Practices in Classic Piano Music":
[maestoso/allegro]
Haslinger: 54-60/132
Czerny: 54-56/126-132
Moscheles: 52-56/126

"Musik-Konzepte 8
Beethoven
Das Problem dem der Interpretation"
edition text + kritik
https://www.etk-muenchen.de/etk/etk_framemaker.php?content_id=5198&top_nav=musik
The whole book is about the tempo of Beethoven's music. In it you can find 10 pages (86-96) with metronomizations from Beethoven, Czerny, Moscheles, Kolisch and Leibowitz.
Czerny's 56 and 126 are from the second edition of his book ("Über den richtigen Vortrag der sämtlichen Beethoven'schen Klavierwerke"). 54 and 132 are from the first edition.
