The VC200L is nearly twice the cost of an 8" newtonian... And although they are purpose built imaging scopes, for planetary imaging/viewing, the larger central obstruction is really going to be a killer in terms of planetary contrast.. The larger secondary is great for fully illuminating a 35mm format CCD, however it is also the deal breaker when it comes to visual observation and planetary work... The same can be said for the GSO RC's.. As for the Newts, at 8.75kgs, the 8" shouldn't be too much to handle...
