Only you can answer that
For me a transportable scope is a must as there is a fair amount of light polution where I live, so almost every new moon I take my scope out away from city lights for a dark sky session.
There is a BIG difference in the quality of viewing if you can get away from the light polution that plagues those of us that live near big cities.
If you live in a rural area and your night sky is dark enough, you may never want to transport your scope, but then theres always the social aspect of star parties etc.
