Look you can always change the mirror if its an issue for you. Get a scope that's easy to use and fit for your purposes, ie it you want to travel with it then a collapsible design is great. GSO mirrors are pretty good compared to many, and many Astro shops retail them as replacement units or for scope builders. Not everyone can afford a Zambuto and most people can't see much difference anyway.
Concerning purchase decisions just be aware that all Skywatcher products now come through Tasco in Sydney, so if you buy it from the Astroshop it will just be drop shipped from Tasco in Sydney and have a road freight component. The retailers all have their own profit margin so shop around, the ones that do the biggest volume usually have the best price. Compare the Astroshop price with the delivered price from Andrews and you may be surprised at the savings. Just my 2 cents.
