Chucky, just my 2 cents, but I'd go into Bintel and take good look at those Skywatcher class scopes. An EQ3 class eq mount (can have drive built in) plus any semi apo ED small refractor, around 80mm or so. That will suit your bill of eq mounted, good enough for a quickie on planets, and genuinely small/compact enough to be as 'grab and go' as you can get. Getting a scope any bigger than that, then I'd say you'd need a CG5 class eq mount for decent stability (the choice is yours...). Fox
