Hi Charles, I'm certainly no expert having been in the same position just a couple of months ago. But I just wanted to echo the more experienced comments re. a dob...

I went with a 8" dob and the ease of setup has definitely been the defining factor in enjoying it regularly since. TBH "setup" is not really the right term as there isn't any, I just lift it out, point up and away I go! In seconds. And ditto at the end of the night when I'm tiered.

No experience with other mounts to compare to to be fair though. Good luck, Iain
