What are your imaging goals?

This scope will be great for planetary imaging.

If you purchase the fastar lens (optional extra) it will be good for fast widefield imaging.

It is relatively weak at long focal length deep sky imaging compared to the other options out there.

Stepping up from the small ETX you own I suggest you walk into one of the retailers there on the US west coast and have a look at one first hand - see how heavy each component is (mount + scope).

I would never buy one of these new now though - too many people will be upgrading to an EdgeHD so if you want one grab a second hand one at a good price.
