It boils down to this..I was going to buy a decent caravan to live in but I am happy with this one I got for nothing so given I don't have much time left being realistic I figure to spend the accommodation money on astronomy.
I am crazy perhaps but I live for my astronomy..it's all I do really.

Alex, I honestly couldn't tell you, I have no experience of an RC other than what I see written in these fine pages

but from what I hear they can be a bit of a pain to collimate.
If you're not afraid of collimation, then go with a faster newt...the truss newts look nice and solid. The difference in speed between f/8 and f/4 imaging is pretty stark, and if you're skies are good, the pixel resolution on the 6200 should be pretty revealing for a 10" or 12" fast newt.
Ultimately, we're all on borrowed time...IMO we've all got to do what we love, within sensible bounds
