For the SkyWatcher, aren't they made in China now?

Yes, Sky Watcher is made in China. In this case that does not mean that the quality of the product is poor. If you purchased a Sky Watcher telescope i'm sure you will be happy with its performance. As mentioned elsewhere, if you can afford to spend more you can have very nice optics available from Japan, USA and Europe.
At the end of the day if you purchased a Dobsonian, it would not really matter if you ended up with a Sky Watcher, Saxon, GSO or Bintel.
If you have an astronomical society near you, chances are they hold free public viewing evenings. The best way to pin down what you are looking for is to try before you buy.
