[Rayw (Ray Whiteside)]

I planned to buy the Skywatcher Dobsonian 12" which is the collapsable type, now I have come across a Saxon full tube 12" (which I prefer as portability is not an issue) which is a bit cheaper, $1100 for the SW $899+$89 Delivery for the Saxon, they look the same to me , but I would appreciate anyones advice on the 2 models, below is from the Astronomy Alive web site ,
Thanks, ray
