Welcome Barry! Great to see another 8SE owner on board
I don't have quite so many gizmos but the tracking mount was the distinguishing feature for me that led me to it over the Dob. Do you use the reducer for visual?
It's unfortunate that they're disproportionately expensive here...I got mine used (overseas) for more or less what the (new) Dob costs here, and I'm glad I took the leap when I did.
