Borg travelscope
Another option for you: I can't rate my Borg ED89 highly enough as a travelscope. It's been on a few flights as hand luggage and at only 2.2 kg (OTA) is a breeze to cart around and mount. The aperture of 89 mm is decent as well - I had great views of Jupiter with a 3.5 mm XW earlier in the week at a Mag of 171X. Currently I mount on a DSV alt az, but plan to buy a Tak PM-SP EQ or a Teegul Sky Patrol for travel tracking.
Just to confuse you further - the Primaluce refractors now carried by Cris at AA exude class...
