The LX90 will be fine for visual use but no good for imaging especially a 12 inch.
If visuals are all your going to do then grab a 12 inch LX90 standard SCT for a bargain off someone.

The lX200 is alot more stable compared to our clubs LX90 and also weighs more and has alot more data base in its memory, but if you can track down all the objects in the LX90 then you will be doing better than me .

If your budjet allows, get the LX200 with the ACF optics if not and visual use is all your after then the LX90 will be good.
