My advice for what it is worth, is to get an 8" dob. Nothing wrong with the 130 SW Heritage, but I have owned or used scopes of 130mm, 8" (2 of these to date!), 12" and 20" and looked through a lot of dobs of various sizes and personally the 8" dob is the best value for money out there.
The little 130mm dobs are OK, but it would have to go on a table, while an 8" can just sit on the ground. An adjustable height chair is helpful if you are my height (5'9") but a bit shorter is easier still.
You also get much more light gathering. I could not believe the difference when I went up to the 8" from my old 130mm!
If you can, try to save the extra $$$, it will be worth it!!
