Hi BigJohn, Welcome.
Perhaps try looking for second hand in the Icetrade classifieds here first and other options,would be much cheaper,Bigger is better.
But for me so far, an 8 " just what I can carry and fit in my car (small Pajero i.o.)
Maybe consider a 10" then you can upgrade if it becomes a serious passion.
being a small bloke, I do not think I could even carry just a 10 inch Tube Dob,let alone the base.
When I got my 8" Dob yesterday the young guy in his 20's could lift the whole set up easily. I am in my early 50's and it was embarrassing to see how weaker I am
though he was taller than me....
