+ 1 for favourable comments re the 8 inch SCT. That size is very portable, easy to lug about and with GoTo easy to use and find targets.
I've compared the views between my 8 inch meade and much larger dobs, the difference isn't as great as the numbers would indicate. If your need is visual certainly an 8 inch SCT.
That said, if I were buying a new scope for visual with a budget of $2000, I'd be tempted to go for a 16 inch dob, perhaps second hand then fit an Argo Navis.
