MPCC if required. Having said that I believe one of the reasons why a person would consider the GSO RC, Vixen VMC or a SCT would be the size compared to Newt.

Placing my 10" Newt in the back seat is a project on its own each time I decide to head out to a dark site.

I am assuming a SCT/RC with a carry case would atleast save you some space portability wise. A small observation (No pun intended) but its worth considering.

Edit - Just wanted to add that Astro-Tech 10" RC (similar if not the same as the GSO) is listed as 2695 USD at Optcorp.
