Craig,
I've had an 8" collapsible dob for some months and am very happy with it. As it's the first telescope that I've ever had, my opinion is based on very little experience, but the blokes in my club seem to back my judgement. I've learnt that your technique is probably more important than the instrument. The 8" fits into the car easily, is easy to collimate, but is marginal in resolution at it's maximum stated magnification. Increase the focal length of the eyepiece by a millimetre and everything is AOK.
Cheers
Graeme
