Grant,
My first scope (home made 4.25" reflector) was on an EQ mount.
20 years later I now own a 12" reflector on a Dob mount.
I actually enjoy the star-hopping by Dob more than the EQ.
It just seems easier. As much as I would now love to have a GoTo scope (the truth comes out), the excitement of finding objects in the sky without any computerised equipment is a thrill in itself. Seeing the object is only half the fun, finding it is the other.
But dobbing is not for everyone!
Are you near any observatories or Astro societies to try the different types of mounts?
