I personally prefer the Saxon/Skywatcher dobs for a couple of reasons being they have tension handles to lock the altitude (very handy, especially when using the heavier EP's) and that you can pick the scope up by these handles and carry the whole assembly around without dismantling the O.T.A .
I have the 8" and 10" and find it very handy, though I dont know how you would go with carrying around a 12".
Also I think the enamel paint job is far superior were as I believe the GSO'S had paint flaking and rust problems but this was a couple of years ago and I'm not sure if they have rectified the paint issue or not.
I also believe the Skywatcher dobs which are identical to the Saxons now have the crayford type focuser s ,not sure if the Saxons have followed but you may have to double check.
Cheers Daniel.
