LX90 10" versus LX200 GPS 8"

Hi All,
Just interested in any comments on either of the 2 scopes and which one would you choose? Both scopes are similar in price with the LX90 around $100 dearer atm.
Even though I may dabble and experiment in a bit of astrophotography/ccd imaging, it will never be something of serious concern.

How does a 10" premium dob compare with either of the above?

If money wasn't a factor would you go for the dob or SCT ? Is collimation as much of an issue with a SCT? Also will I be equally impressed with seeing DSO's with a SCT as I have when viewing thru some dobs? Optics ???

PS: portability has become a factor for me now and hence maybe an SCT.
Price wise I know the dob wins hands down.

Looking forward to the responses!
