The 12" Bintel dob is a pig of a scope to haul around. Its a fine instrument and a relative bargain, but boy, is it a beast!
A 10" will show you almost as much detail without quite so much hassle. I would suggest a 10" Skywatcher "go-to" dobsonian. You'll get the important bits although there's no camera and no talky-thing.

I have no experience with the Lightswitch scopes, but there seem an awful lot of used ones on the market for a scope that's been out for 2 years.
