Think of the decision like this Houghy, you are deciding between an 8" TASCO achromatic refractor for $1,200 and a 5" Astro Physics Apochromatic refractor for $600. On the basis that you already own a 12" LX 200 I think you would get a lot more use out of the smaller scope and its quality is infinitely superior in every respect to the Chinese made scopes.
