Meade or Celestron - Help needed

One of our SVAA members wants to buy an 8" SCT, but I know nothing about them to give advice to him.

Can someone recommend which is the easier and better for him. He is an elderly Gent, owns NO computer to upgrade anything, and he insists on a fork mount.

So that leaves him with a choice between the Meade LX90GPS SCT and the Celestron CPC 800 GPS XLT. Which one is the better scope? (that'll cause arguments)

There is only $300 difference between the two, so price doesn't come into the equation (unless one or the other has EP's included).

Any UNBIASED opinions would be appreciated, coz I can't help him. I know diddly squat about SCT's.

Thank You

P.S. I hope he doesn't need a computer to use one of these scopes coz he doesn't want one.
