It looks like York are selling the GSO dob. Lots of happy customers around for those scopes.
Yes you'll see buckets more than with your 4.5". HOWEVER - it is HUGE relative to my original 8" let alone your 4.5". If you have to travel with your scope, you'll need a trailer, big wagon, 4WD etc. Maybe you can fit it in a regular big family sedan, but maybe not. The 12" tube would not fit between the moulded armrests in the back seat of an EL Ford! If you can spend most of your viewing time from your back yard - go for it. I'm not sure that price includes eyepieces? There website isn't clear. Check also Andrews Communications and Bintel - other suppliers of the GSO dobs (perhaps rebadged.)
