Prova,
if you've got the option and the current mount is a pain then I'd swap for the dob.
Used our 8" on the weekend - glorious dark skies before moonrise and the dob mount is a breeze to use. Can't say I knew the names of everything we saw but we saw heaps and had fun.
Have tried some afocal photography with the dob - it's okay but won't be selling to any astro mags anytime soon. A few good pics of the moon and steadily improving ones of the planets - that'll do for me.
Yep, go for the dob.
