The higher the magnification you go with a Dob - there's lots more pushing around to keep the high powered magn' planet in the eyepiece...it can be difficult depending on how smooth the motion of your Dob is.
To keep a planet centered in the eyepiece at very high powers requires a motor driven mount IMHO. A dob is a great all rounder, but if you have specific interests in mind - more specific tools may be required.
