Which scope?

Hi. I'm really new to this and need some advice. I currently have a Meade ETX125 and am looking to move up to something bigger. I am thinking of something around 10 to 12 inch mainly for viewing and also some imaging. I am particularly interested in lunar photography.

At the moment I am looking at either the Celestron C11 or CPC 11 inch and the Meade LX200GPS in 10 or 12 inch. One thing I have noticed is that the Meade is a fair bit cheaper but I'm not sure why seeing as the accessories that come standard (microfocuser, ACF coatings, etc) seem to be more than what Celestron offer as standard. Just wondering if the Celestron is that much better.

Also I am open to suggestions on other brands.

Thanks in advance for your expert advice

Chris
