Hey mate,
6 months in and far far from being an expert, so take that on board 1st.
Nearly a month ago now managed to grab an 8 inch newt on an EQ5 mount for a bargain, second hand. Sure the mirror could use a re-coat and it needed a careful clean and collimation - but for the money it's a steel.
Point being there is some great 2nd hand gear around. Personally found the astronomy community to be highly honest and helpful when buying off them too.
BTW unless a matter of convenience I'd almost guarantee you'll backbench the 127mm for a 200 very shortly. The difference between our 114mm and 200mm is nothing short of staggering!
