Ok.. OP do you have a mount ?

A quick search suggests $600 for the OTA, or $1100 for scope with mount and tripod.
As per previous you could do significantly better secondhand from the IIS classifieds:

- a Meade or Celestron C8 OTA,
- a 6" or 8" dob,
- new 127 mak with GOTO mount and tripod, extremely portable and dead easy to set up;
- a 150mm Mak if you want aperture and real portability; these do come up; mount and tripod up to you,

Aperture wins, every time. Only question is the depth of your pocket.
