I agree with Alex and monte.

Even with an EQ6 pro (something i am looking at) a 12" dob would be really heavy wouldn't it? Then add everything else like a camera guidescope etc and it's also immensely cumbersome.
I know these mounts have a large payload but i sold my 10" GSO dob about a year ago (still regret it) and i know how big that was!
Then of course there are much more expensive mounts out there as mentioned above but if you were in the market for one of those, I would guess you don't really need to worry about saving your pennies and keeping the Dob OTA anyway.
