Hi Bret and welcome mate , Go the Borg but grab the 60mm ED , I have a friend with one of these and they are perfectly designed for what you want and once you sort them out the sky is the limit , awesome bit of Japaneese modular design .
I all fits on a small camera bag . Sweet !

I'm thinking about heading over to New Zealand for a bit of a holiday in a few months and was thinking it would be great to take my imaging setup over there and camp under the stars for a week or so and hopefully get some nice images.
I had planned to take my scope (WO FLT98) on the flight as carry on luggage but the case that came with the scope is too big for carry on so I would need to find a smaller, lighter case.
Alternatively, I was thinking about bringing forward the purchase of what would become my guide scope and taking that over instead. I was thinking of something along the lines of a Borg 55FL (the light, modular design seems pretty handy for future expansion possibilities) or a Stellarvue SV60, or maybe something closer to 70mm aperture providing it's still pretty light.
Basically something that could be used as a guide scope but would also be a great wide field imaging/travel scope.
Or, I could put all of this in the too hard/too expensive basket and save a bit of extra money 
Would love to hear your thoughts/suggestions on this.
Cheers,
