Hi,
If you were thinking of getting a 12 inch DOB then I am not sure a 6 inch scope is a real substitute. The DOB will have 400% more light gathering ability than the MAK; and given that you are in a dark sky area will get very good use from the DOB. Secondhand 12 ich DOBS go for maybe the same price as the MAK as well.
Cheers
Paul
