I have the 130 Astro with the motor drive and its a pretty good scope for the money. It came with a good red dot finder but I added a finder scope as well. Re the motor drive be aware it only drives ascension you still need the flexi knob for declination, but at least your not turning two at once. It's been semi-retired as my 12" Dob gets used more these days, but its a quick setup.
You can find the Celestron on sale for less than the price you've mentioned, which is probably RRP, I've seen them for $389.
Re the Sk?ywatcher I have no experience other than seeing them around.
