Thanks for the info.
I was thinking maybe a GSO 200mm f/4 reflector OTA might be a bit lighter (due to the shorter focal length) than a Skywatcher 200mm f/5 reflector. 20% shorter has to be a bit lighter! The problem is most of my observing in the past was through a 10inch dob (which hasn't fitted into the car for 14 years - why didn't I buy a car based on my telescope???). So I am a bit reluctant to go down to a 6 inch, since I might be visually dissappointed and pine for larger apperture. It is all about walking a tightrope. I know my wife will only allow ONE scope, not one now and another one in a couple of years! After all she often points at my 80mm refractor and says "you already have a telescope"... *sigh*
