I have a 130 SLT, which is pretty similar and I love it because of its portability. The mount/tripod and all of its accessories fit nicely into a backpack and I keep the OTA in a modified box (the original OTA box with straps, foam and bubble wrap. Lots and lots of bubble wrap
). This is for the SLT mount though which is smaller than the EQ mount of your telescope.
