I've found a much cheaper source importing scopes even after freight and tax and duty. So my current inclination is towards a Celestron 9.25 or Edge on a CGEM mount.
Funnily enough that has complicated things even further, because there turns out to be surprisingly few people using the Edge scopes to compare with, and no Celestron approved focal reducer except for the non-Edge model.
I'm going to try to wait, take a deep breath, read some magazines and get to some local meet ups when they happen next and take a look through their equipment. I even looked into the option of a beautiful 10" reflector on one of those EQ6 mounts, I just feel like I went halfway down that path before and would not take it out as much due to bulk alone as if I went the SCT route.
