The Skywatcher has much better finish on the tube and the altitude bearings and friction control are better too. OTOH the GS deluxe comes with extras like fan, crayford (not sure about the SW). For a good price on the Skywatcher Dobs, try MyAstroshop (although their "online store" seems to be down at the moment). But in the end, you'd get a lot of enjoyment out of either scope.
