Hi Jarrod.
I was stuck with the same dilema, and decided after consideration how often I would get the oportunity to travel with my setup, as opposed to how often I would use it and not have to travel, I went the whole hog on a permenant set up mainly because I live a million miles from anywhere that is ever likely to have a gathering requiring portability. In your case you have dark skies where you are, "no need to travel" Go with the big Dob,,, My 2 cents...
