I may well be the most inexperienced person here in these forums, but I am the proud new owner of a 10"dob and couldn't be happier. Don't underestimate them based on how simple they look, they are plenty powerful, easy to set up and use and surprisingly portable. They're also much bigger than you expect too. Mine stands about 1.3m tall (as does the 8" dob from memory" so unless you're 2.2m tall you won't need the picnic table. I can't comment on the other scope, or the light conditions in Melbourne, but I couldn't be happier with a dob. I'm sure that the more experienced folks here will point you in the right direction. Cheers. Oh, and welcome to IIS.
