For features, the ETX is probably a good option, but I don't like the long focal length (i.e. small field of view). My favourite is my WIlliam Optics Zenithstar 80mm. It's light enough for a camera tripod and the magnification can be pushed for reasonable planetary viewing. For a slight increase in size and weight, I reckon the ED80 and Porta mount sounds like the perfect combo to me, and cheap!
