Grab the Orion. They have the same optics(Synta) The Orion can be broken down into pieces. Including the rocker box(mount). The Skywatcher will be in 2 pieces (OTA + Mount). That being said the Skywatcher strut tube OTA is super easy to collapse and pack away in one go if you are capable of handling it. Unless of course the new 12" Skywatcher mounts now also break down.

If i could do it over again I would get the Orion goto. Then again. When i got my 12" the goto models didn't exist yet.
