I have the 6se and it is a great system for viewing. The goto is easy, tracking is good and reliable and it is really very light for transport, easy to assemble etc. The kids love it. My problems started when I bought a canon 1000D and wanted to do some astrophotography. For anything other than the moon (bright with short exposure) it is not up it. I am just embarking on the upgrade to an EQ6 pro and 10" Newt, it may all be downhill from there. (I thought the camera was a bargain, its now costing me a fortune)
If you just want an easy to use, portable visual only unit it is recommended, also shop around, the advertised prices will move, I saved $500 off the 6se in december.
