Hey Snotty, I don't own a dob and never have, but to satisfy your main requirements of ease of use and something that will keep you going for a while, it's clear a dob is what you need... those other EQ mounted things are more likely to lead you into frustration in use and won't show you nearly as much as an 8inch or even 6 inch dob - actually the 6in dob isn't really going to much less portable that those others when you factor in their tripods etc.
Just another view.
cheers,
