It's a really tough call. I owned an etx 125 and it was a nice scope, but ultimately let down by the rigidity of the mount. I think the etx 90 is a better scope for that reason. Trouble is that you want more light - don't we all, and that means a number of other factors come in to play - the main one being budget, rapidly followed by portability.

Rather than give suggestions, I am going to recommend that you come along to the IYA event at the Sir Thomas Brisbane Planetarium on the 4th of April and meet a truck load of local Astro club members and all of their scopes.

Don't talk to me though, I have a bad habit of talking people into selling their house/car/loved one to buy something BIG from the SDM stable!
