Having used dobs of several sizes (8", 12" and 20") as well as EQ mounted newts (ie with those "couple of knobs") there is no way I would use anything other than a dob for visual astronomy. Finding objects is far more intuitive and setup is easy (carry it out, put it down, collimate and start using).
