Hi Eric,
I hear where you're coming from. But believe me, after you've collimated a few times it becomes a piece of cake. The first time takes ages, by the 10th time, only a couple of minutes at the most.
My first real scope was the GSO 10" Dob. I used to move it using a hand trolley, using the foam inserts from it's box to support it or by breaking it down, moving the base then the ota.
The only times I collimated was after a road trip.
It's a great scope. You'll get many years of enjoyment from it.
