Hi Andromeda,
Nothing that hasn't been said before, but on reading your question my thought was also whether you plan to use it only at home or to transport the scope by car. If the former, I find it very easy to handle my GSO 12" on a trolley, (with a strap for added security). But I wouldn't want to be moving it to get to a dark site very often.
Whatever you get, I reckon you'll have a lot of fun.
