Although I have very little experience, I thought I would throw in my tuppence worth. My scope is an 8" collapsible skywatcher, which I bought mainly because I can fit it in the boot of my car. I did make a plywood box to protect it. The 300mm that it shortens the tube makes the difference between fitting it in the car on its own or fitting it in with other luggage and people.
Cheers
Graeme
