Scott, never say never, to restrict yourself to your own backyard is a backward move, what ever you get, make sure you can transport to other sites, one night at a dark site should be enough to convince you.
As you progress you will most likely gravitate to other observing sites. Get the biggest you can afford and transport. If I were in your shoes I would probably buy a collapsible dob first then an ArgoNavis and encoders for push to at a later date. Go to and tracking are nice but not necessary, the capability to find a Target is; the Argo Navis will give you that.
Argo Navis units complete with encoders come up from time to time in the icetrade section.
