First scope: Bintel or Guan Sheng 12" Dob?

Hi,
I'm looking for some advice on what first scope to get. I think i'm going to go for 12" Dob but i'm undecided on whether to go for an Andrews Guan Sheng or a Bintel 12". Between these two I have also noticed that Andrews have various versions of the 12" GS Dob in terms of the Crawford focuser. Being a novice i'm not totally sure what this is how much difference this is going to make.

If anyone can share any advice on which they would go for and the relevant pros/cons of Bintel over Guan Sheng would be greatly appreciated.
