Hi all

I am currently living in the US for work and i will be here until the middle of 08 give or take a month or so.
Whilst I am here i am looking at buying another scope because they seem to be a lot cheaper here.

I am mainly interested in visual only and maybe one day get into the imaging side of things. I am mainly concerned with set up times and maintenance. I dont really want to spend ages setting up the equipment.

The 2 scopes I am looking at are in the title. I have never used a scope with GPS. I imagine this cuts down on time quite a lot when searching for objects.

The Lightbrige i can get for US$1799 after a $200 rebate
The Celestron is a little more at US$2799 but still significantly chepaer than in AU.

I really want to know is the GPS worth the smaller mirror and easier set up and use. I am leaning towards the Celestron but 16" of apeture sounds so good.

Any help would be great.
