I am tossing up between 2 12" dobs: GSO and Lightbridge. Portability is a major factor - both will fit my car, though obviously the LB much easier. But is the LB worth the extra $500? I suspect I could modify the GSO into a truss - has anyone done that? I understand the mirrors are of similar quality (both GSO). What is the quality of the eyepieces (GSO has 4, LB 1: I'd want pretty good ones)? Will the GSO finder be better than the LB red dot (haven't used one of those)? How do they compare in movement?

A long time between scopes: upgrading from a 6" newt w mirror I ground 38 years ago!

Thanks for your help
