I wanted the biggest aperture I can move at home whilst on the tripod, transport in my 2-door car, and leave setup in the dining room without taking too much space. For me this was perhaps a 6" Newt on EQ, or an 8" Meade SCT. Optically, I suspected/assessed similar outcomes with each. The convenience, viewing position and compactness and GOTO of the SCT left this as an easy win to the SCT (for my needs). In think this assessment puts in context the apparent superiority of a pure Newt solution on a similar aperture basis.
