I have the 8" collapsible Skywatcher and it will fit comfortably into my car and is just about as much as I can handle by myself.It is easy and quick to set up & holds its collimation well. It goes out to club viewing most Friday nights. There is a 12" that turns up but it needs to be transported in a van. I would only consider a biggie if it was going to be on a pier or somewhere you can get a trolley of some type to cart it a short distance.
