I don't know what a 2001PEQ5 is but anything with any sort of aperture on an EQ5 will be more difficult to lug around than the 10" Dob. (I have a 6" Mak on an EQ mount and the Dob is easier to move.) the meade lets you down in aperture also when comparing with the 10" Dob, which is a great scope and has got my vote.
