Thanks again for your input, all.
I must say that before I posted this thread, I had in my mind that the C9.25 would be a good "all rounder" and probably top of the list, with the Meade being second - based on my criteria.
I have not attempted planetary stuff, obviously, with the gear I have. But I do want to get into it eventually, so the capability of it is important to me. I will always want to do DS stuff - I love nebulae and galaxies.
I'm gonna be up for a mount upgrade, aren't I...
@PeterM - I'm planning on going to Astrofest at least for a couple of days. And Leyburn is definitely on the cards in the next few months, depending on work.
