Just saw your earlier thread with a slightly different list of scopes and also noted your emphasis on portability.......
Taking that into account I would have to say the TOA130 would be the best option...... although Im not sure why you ruled out the Mewlon250CRS earlier ??? as that would be a nice option for visual too.
If you choose to go with a 150mm +scope you will definitely need a very stable tripod and mount....even for visual.
For some reason people seem to think that good mounts are only needed for astro-photography but I can assure you that a tripod and mount that is not stable when you are focussing or tracking will be extremely annoying !!
Also if you go for a 150mm+ scope will you really be confident handling it alone to setup each time......??? they are typically very front heavy and relatively long tube and will need to be in a good set of rings and a dovetail so you will be lifting the OTA+ Rings+Dovetail.
Will be a very expensive mistake to drop it !!!
