I own the 10" gso dob. Whilst the base is fairly bulky, the tube lays nicely across the back seat of the car for transportation.
I had a look at the explorascope and for a whole host of reasons I wouldnt recommend it as a first scope for anyone half serious about this hobby. Its performance will be limited and very quickly outgrown.
In the sub 1k price bracket, nothing comes close to the dobs in performance as a complete scope and mount package.
