They are two VERY different telescopes mate.. Which William Optics scope are you considering? The one in the picture is the FLT98, which is quite a bit more expensive than the GSO RC...

What do you plan to use the scope for?

If for imaging:
Do you prefer wide field views, or close up shots?
If wide field - Get the FLT98.
If Close Up - Get the RC8.

If for visual observing.
Get neither..

Please provide more information with what you intend to do with the scope. Its very much horses for courses, whilst both the scopes you have posted pics of are very good, they are good at different things..

Overall quality, and suitability for your mount, the FLT98 is probably a better option.
