Hi mr2ns! (Sorry yoy didn't include your correct name so have to use the label!)
My advice is stay away from equatorially mounted scopes as a beginner. They add levels of complexity that you just don't need.
The 2 six inch dobs will certainly fit the bill, either model are perfectly OK from what I have seen. I am always happy to recommend Bintel but shipping costs to Perth can get expensive so may be worth exploring local options.
One thing to consider is that an 8" dob is not much bigger than a 6", and has much more light grasp. Simply put, you see more as the scope gets bigger.
I took my 8" away with me several times with no issues in a small car. Wagon or hatch makes it easier but I have seen much larger scopes in small sedans.
