I am not going to comment on the other mounts/scopes you mention, because I have no experience with them.

However, are you aware that you can convert your CPC mount into an Equatorial by adding the appropriate wedge. I believe others have obtained good results with that setup.
Hi Allan,

Thanks for your reply! Yes, I already got a wedge on the my cpc 925, but the problem right now is I really don't want to move it anymore , it's so heavy. I'm lazy, so I never disassembly it, every time I carry it around, it was with tripod, alt-az mount, 925 sct, losmandy mount plate with a ed80 doublet on (should be more than 60 kg or 75 kg with wedge), and it doesn't have good handle on it, and there are 8 stairs from my house to back yard. That's why I only want to go with light refractors, otherwise newtonian might work better with the same money.
