Just a note there on portability . The base of the Skywatcher 14" will not go through a standard door.

Mass produced optics are always a case of buyer beware....lemons will still get out. I encountered an Orion 8" dob ( GSO Optics ) the other week with a mirror that was so bad , no appearance of clear focus could be attained even with a 30mm eyepiece and medium and high were unusable. The owners were oblivious of the problem . This level of problem I'm sure is rare but it does happen.
