all the LX scopes are both go-to and tracking enabled.
if you are going to do photography in the future and plan for long exposures you are going to need a wedge to mount the scope on so allow about $800 depending on the size scope you may get.
once set up correctly the go-to and tracking ability of these scopes is superb, you also have the ability to alter the f/l of the scope by the way of focal reducers which gives you the option of having high magnification for planets, moon etc as well as wide field viewing of deep space objects.
the 8" and 10" is fairly manageable but the 12" and up are very heavy scopes and best suited to permanent setups. if price is no real concern then you cannot go wrong.
