Greg.
I've got the VMC200 on order as a grab-and-go scope, its only 6kg, and with no collector plate its cools quickly, so I hope to be able to sneak in some quick viewing session when I travel for work.
The VC200 is probably photographically better than the VMC200 if you are into happy snaps.

The 260 "big-cat" looks good if you have the cash.
The current model focuses through the primary mirror, I'm hoping they will lock it down like the 200 in a future model.
