If I go the SCT way then most likely I would go for the fork mount types instead of the eq mounts. They seem easier to use and ligher... or I hope they are in this case!
Meade is releasing a cheaper version (as oppose to the LX200 series they currently have) and Celestron is releaseing a CGC version which is also SUPPOSE to be easy to use, no weights to dissassemble and lighter... but this would set me back a small fortune which is why I am seriously considering a dob at the moment.
