You didn't mention what Meade OTA you were considering - a traditional SCT (pre RC) or one of the newer ACF's. Mirror lock is available on the 10" and-up Meade units.
I believe, from those and own them and from others I've spoken to, that the 8" LX200-ACF will blow a C8 out of the water in terms of its flat imaging capability. I know I'd swap my C8 for one tomorrow. If you go out and get RRP prices on the C8 and LX200ACF OTAs you'll find that the Meade is around the $1,900 mark - about $200 more than you could buy a C8XLT for.
Having said that I'm thinking of migrating to an FS102...
