Alex, I think we will have to agree to disagree here. But, that said, this is not cheese and chalk, as the 8" Dob would be my second recommendation.
I think that the eyepieces supplied with almost any Dob are not up to a good standard, but did find that the Super ones worked Ok in the 6" F8. I still have 2 of them somewhere amongst my collection of about 50 eyepieces.
I have owned both a 6" GS Dob and an 8" GS dob and used the 6" much more than the 8". The only observation that I made where the 8" was a clear winner was when I could see the shadow of Titan on Saturn with it, but not with the 6".
I thought the Skywatcher 6" was similiar to the GS 6". Am I missing something here? (I have only seen photos of the Skywatcher). Very interesting, since we have been exchanging posts, Bintel website seems to indicate that the Skywatch 6" is maybe about to disappear and they have started listing a Bintel 6" dob, which I assume is actually a rebranded GS.
