I have both a 114 Meade on a crap eq1 mount and a 10" dob. the dob wins hands down. I've found more objects with the dob in 3 months then I did with a year with the Meade 114. the non complex alt-az setup with the dob makes it simple for anyone to place it and to view ... without aligning etc which you will have to do with an eq.
spend the extra and get a 6-10 inch dob.

ps.. the most frustrating part with the Meade was tightening the locking screws on the object and then having to refind it. it gave good views of planets and the moon and clusters but that's about it ...mine wasn't a goto
