Mewlon 250 vs C14 XLT (older non EdgeHD)

Hi, I own a Mewlon 250 (which I bought used and got a good deal on) but am seriously considering selling it and buying a C14 XLT (older model not the EdgeHD). Astronomics in the U.S. is selling new ones for $3000 U.S. Mounting it is not a problem, my mount is overkill for it. I live in the suburbs of Colorado Springs so I'm limited to mostly lunar, planetary and double star observing unless I lug everything to a dark sky site which will not happen often. The Mewlon is MUCH easier to lift and put on the mount, cools quickly and the back comes off so tube currents are not an issue.

Any advice?

Thanks,

Chuck
