Smile Buying a Telescope

Hello All. My first post.
I have been reading this forum and many others on Astronomy for a number of years. It seems I have still a lot to learn. I have been using binoculars all this time, but by reading these forums I seem to be missing out on a lot of fun. I am now in a position to purchase a telescope. I have been reading about the Mead telescopes, in particular the 12" RCX400 and the 12" LX200R GPS. What are the pros and cons of each, as they appear to be very similar. I intend to use it for all space observations including photography.

Thankyou
