Aaron,
I don't think you will go too far wrong in purchasing one of these scopes - they are well priced. Purchased mine from Sirius Optics, happy to recommend them - good people & great service.
As has been pointed out in these forums, the best scope is the one you use the most. If you have nowhere to store in it assembled condition, you need to decide whether the effort involved in regular assembly will not become too much of a bother when you just want to spend an hour or two using it. For that reason I am starting to give serious consideration to building a permanent observatory for mine.
Patrick,
Will let you know what I figure out for the cooling fans, and will get some details on the cover bags I use for you.
Regards,
Graeme J.
