You are probably better with the andrews deluxe version (i think its $50 dearer)- the focuser is a lot smoother - as for the mount the dobs sit on a couple of rollers on a base with teflon that you just push/shove to move it into place. You could mount the OTA (optical tube) on an eq5/6 later on which you could be motorised and use for some tracking - by using the webcam to take pics/avi's on the moon and planets. just hook the webcam up to the focuser. bintel is slightly dearer but I have found there service top notch - depends where you live (sorry adelaide) you will have to pay post no matter what. both andrews & bintel dobs are made by guan sheng (GSO) - they gather a lot of light for the money - lot more than the 5" you were thinking about
