OK, so I am heading down the path of 6" SCTs. The Celestron and the Meade both look good and priced in the right range at $1600 - $1900 new (although this means waiting for a few months)

How will these compare to a 6 year old second hand 8" LX90 (there is an LX90 for sale in this forum atm which I assume is 8", it didn't state) in the following areas:
1. Ease of setup
2. GoTo
3. The magnitude of what I can expect to see
4. Storage Case Size (I can get weight specs easily)

Cheers

Alex
