hi Dave, if you are going to eventually get into imaging start to plan now and save money in the long run.
Unless you only want to do a bit of planetary work then the Dob will be no good for you due to it's inability to track for any length of time.
The LXD will work ok for deep space imaging but not ideal for planetary work and will need to be mounted on a very stable EQ mount with a quality drive system.
If imaging does interest you then you will learn that a rather substantial budget will be required.
