The 130 Eq would be a disappointment compared to the dob. Aperture rules and 200mm has a lot more light gathering power than 130mm. The Eq mount bundled with that scope would be at best a frustration, not adequate for astrophotography and unnecessary and cumbersome for visual use. An 8 inch dob will fit in the back of almost any car. If you get the opportunity take a look through someone elses telescope, find some local members near you and get together for a viewing night.
