Lookupinthesky,
I've got an LX90 and love it, although a dob would be nice too. If money's no object then Go-To type scopes are nice, but if the budget's tight then a dob is the go. The LX90 fits in a small car and is easily lifted. It also has tracking which is nice if you're looking at astrophotography, can be controlled from a laptop and easy imaging is now possible without much hassle using the Meade DSI. All current LX's come with an LPI which is a good start for basic planetary imaging. If you're thinking of serious astrophotography you're ultimately better off with an equatorial mount with an appropriate OTA. Look through the old threads in this forum, there's lots of reading which will help you make your decision. Pete's astronomy site details the sort of performance and limitations you can expect from an LX90.
