I am unsure about what you mean by setting up and that the dob was hard to setup "it was just a nuisance to get out quickly and set up." I will assure you that every setup that you have mentioned will take longer to set up and are more complex as you have to start dealing with things like rough polar alignment level and what not. plus all of the scopes your looking at will take up the same if not more physical space than the dob.
I think you have to look at what you really want as what your asking contradicts every point of why you wanted to downgrade.
as for the scopes you have mentioned i belive the best for you would be the celestron style of scope with goto and all things like that as you will then get the best use of the scope because it can take you and show you things if your not really good with finding objects then anything else will frustrate you.
when looking at reviews do remember that it is totally the feel of who is reviewing it unless there is scientific method behind it or somebody who is extremely experienced in telescope optics and manufacture. Do look more at what the telescope will offer and what you like to look at as this will be the biggest determination to what scope you get. so ask more things like this is what i like to do whats the best telescope for me based on what i want to do.
