I'm not saying SCT's are bad, and I imagine you'd be well pleased with the view through them - just as you should be well pleased with the view through your dob.
I've looked through a number of SCT's over the past few years and I always prefer the view through a newt. Maybe it's just personal preference?
If you really want the convenience of a fork mount for simple tracking and goto, then by all means get an SCT - it will do just what you want.
I'm not trying to talk you out of it, just trying to offer an alternative point of view.
Can you make it out to SPSP in April? There'd be 100 SCT's to look through
