Thank you all for your recommendations.
Finances allowing, I am definitely leaning towards a Skywatcher Syncscan Goto Dob from Andrews Comms, either the 14", now reduced to $2500, or if I can go further, the 16" for $3400.
Is the extra light gathering power of a 16" over a 14" to be used mostly in suburban western Sydney worth the extra $900?
I welcome your commments and recommendations.
Cheers
Guy
