I guess Barry and I must be examples of status-seeking 'non-serious' observers. Although both of us can set up in about the same time as smaller dobs ( it's the same number of components to assemble), do so singlehanded, and although I concede having a dedicated trailer for the scope is a bit more of a commitment, it makes heading out observing as simple as hitching it up and driving off. Plus you can store a lot of camping crap in the trailer with the scope - I'm self contained, big battery and inverter as well.
Still - perhaps you should ask someone who lives nearby who observes with a 20+ if you can tag along for a night? Most of us status seekers are only too happy to show them off!
Cheers,
Andrew.
