optic question

Hi all, just a query to anyone who has or eperience with the meade lx90 and lx200r series. Can you tell the difference visualy on planets,globs ect between the two. I have been told by someone you can. Any experiences?
I will be looking at 12 inch size and have not looked through any only C9.25 and C11 's. I know the differences between all of these scope's mechanicaly. Just were looking at getting a 200r 12inch for long term maybe do some imaging in future but would the lx90 12 be adequate for my visual and basic imaging now? I read somewhere that the 200r has a 15% larger field of view over the Lx90 have any you guys heard the same? Size and budjet is no prob's. Lots of people keep telling me to get a dob but I want tracking and goto for use with the Kids who keep hasseling me for looks. Will the lx90 be ok or spend the bucks and get 12 200R. Any thoughts.
