Unhappy Lunar/Planetary Obs.-Mewlon210 vs MK715 vs AT 8"?

Confused!

I'm pretty much aware of the plusses and minuse of both scopes: Cooling, contrast, ability to hold collimation, build quality etc. etc.

I've never had a chance to do a direct comparrison.
Moon, Planets, bright DSO's?
Anyone have a preference?

Addendum: Now, the much-rumored AT 8" MK is alledgedly soon to hit the shelves. I'm getting another Migraine!
I've seen no reports on the 6" which could be a good thing. After the heartbreak of the TSA120, I really don't want to make another "wrong" step.

Ta!
