Hi Guys.
I'm wondering which of the two I should buy. I'll be looking at making a purchase in the the next couple of weeks so I'm doing a bit of home work before I make the plunge.
From what I see the Meade is the better buy as it has more aperture but they both cost around the same. Am I missing something? Actually the Meade is about $105 cheaper and has a mirror lock built in.

I'll be putting this on an HEQ5, I know most people think that the mount is to small but I don't intend on doing any photography for a while and if I do want to branch out in that direction I'll upgrade the mount when I'm ready. I'd rather have something to grow into than out of.
I need my rig to be as portable as possible so I'm not looking at Newt's but if anyone can suggest something better than these two for around the same money I'm all ears and I'm only looking at new not second hand.
Thanks
Sandy
