Even small takes heaps of time setting up. For me setting up the 80mm refractor is not that much differrent to setting up the eight inch ...ones heavier but that the only difference really.
But do like the smaller scope and find its results satisfying.
I plan in the near future setting up both rigs heq5 and eq6 ...need another mono camera but the dslr will have to do on one scope☺.
I think there is a great deal of merit in the skyadventurer approach...and just use camera lens and a modded dslr is probably a rig you would use a lot.
I find with my widefield set up (BWM☺) you can carry it all on and out which means you can fire on those nights not worth setting up for with a big or small set up..both work...anyways you can take out for a couple of hour gap that magically appears or even say you wake up at 3 am and notice its clear..drag it out set the thing ruffly south...have a marked spot to drop it. .zwitch it on and it bangs away until you wake up☺...
I am finding I still have so much to adjust and make better ...cables a never ending story...
So my answer is...get whatever rig you like its still big set up time which ever way you go really.
