Celestron Nexstar 6SE is lightweight, portable(ota can be separated from mount), has good optical quality and the hand control is very easy to use. Objects can be selected directly from the hand control (eg: press the 'NGC' button then the numbers 2,5 and 3 to select NGC253, rather than working through menus. Collimation is easy once the phillips head screws have been replaced with Bobs Knobs.
The negatives: the internal batteries don't last very long so you need an external 12 volt supply(make sure it's centre/tip positive); the mount cannot be used without power(there are no clutches you can release).
