[Mesorah] Psalm 145, Zecher vs. Zeicher

[Mandel, Seth]

There are several cases where ArtScroll's t'NaKh differs from its siddur.  In the T'Nakh it generally tries to follow the masoretic text, whereas in the siddur it does not want to "rock the boat" and change what other siddurim have.
Regarding this word: all masoretic texts have zeikher for all occurrences of the word.
However, all Ashk'naz mss. that I have seen have zekher everywhere, in the siddur and the T'NaKh.  That is probably the source for the (now) famous minhag of the Gra to read zekher.
I will let R. David answer what the various Ashk'naz siddurim have.

Subject: [Mesorah] Psalm 145, Zecher vs. Zeicher

In Psalm 145 the Artscroll Tanach has Zeicher

Yet in the Artscroll Siddur in "Ashrei" it has Zecher.

Are there Mss. Or early editions of the siddur that support Zecher in "Ashrei"
Shalom and Regards, RRW
