Robin,
you already know what I think, but I'll air it anyway.
The FS102, or any of the equivalent scopes are lovely, really nice, but in this bang for buck world, nothing to my mind beats the newt.
So I am swinging for the likes of the R200SS, or any of the other variants, GSO being one of them.
Having to use a coma corrector is no great hardship, I use one with the 80mm refractor, and have even been using it with my 10" f5 newt. The likes of the 8" f4 actually fills a dual role, if you can use an extender with it as well, giving a longer focal length, but with the same easy to mount package.
Gary
