Thanks for the comments so far. Interesting things to think about.
Mount I will be using is Takahashi EM400 which already carries my 30kg + Mewlon 300 load pretty easily
Not really interested in a really large Dob as that is more hassle with ladders etc
Main outcome is to maintain or hopefully significantly improve quality of optics and mechanical components (and obviously views) and get a wider field.
In the end maybe the Mewlon 300 is still the best around compromise ?? which is why I initially went that way.
