Damo adds an interesting point the the EQ6Pro is heavy. Oddly enough I don't find it as cumbersome as I did with my 12 inch dob, before I got the trolly.
Although the learning curve seems very steep, I am at the very beginning and advice comes from all parties and different places. Get what you can afford, comfortably lug around and have fun!
There is nothing quite as exiting as seeing something new in the eyepiece! especially after searching for a while through light polluted skies.
Now all I need to do is learn how to take a photo of the things I see.......
