I understand the 120 gathers more light, the wider field of view will be good I think. I have the edge for higher power and FL if I need. I suppose I am after better quality components like focuser and such. It's a little like the motorbike I have in the garage, when I am not using it, it is nice to look at too.

Collapsible dew shield appeals and it appears the case is half the size of my 120 which takes up more than one seat in the back of my ute.

The other side of the equation is that a focal reducer and moonlight focuser would give me some of the bling and utility for less hassle.

Anyone have any experience with the Sky Rover 115 or similar. Uses Japan made FPL53 etc. Chris from Astronomy Alive sells them. These would push my budget a little more.

I appreciate the discussion and the points raised already.

Thank you
