fully concur with Ken!!
I have a dob driven GSo 10" and have been very very happy with the jupiter images i have got at very high mags (1600x)
BUT, if I had my time again, I would get the same as Kens.
I do not find Kens to be way too big, it is still transportable and the eyeball views on galaxies etc blow my 10" away.
If you can move it, then get it. Go the extras ie fans, 2" crayford etc.
I believe my next scope will be the 16" light bridge which will get a fairly heavy mod done to it for tracking with a dob driver II.
If you are into DSO astrophotography, the eq platform will be fine for short exposure, but as Ken has put a link to, you will need a heavy duty eq mount for longer stuff like Paul Mayo
