The Skywatcher 10" is excellent for the money. I've looked through a few of them and had a good time with them. But they do have an added weight at the mirror end (presumably to help balance the scope without adding height to the base) and I don't know how this would go if you put it on a GEM, it will surely affect the performance of the mount. If you plan to go to a GEM later the GSO might be the better option. Perhaps others have tried this and will add their experiences here.
