Welcome to IIS Nic. If price isn't a factor and you want a dob it would be well worth waiting to see how the 16 inch GS dobs turn out. If you're not aware, all reflectors (and SCT's) require a lengthy cooldown period for optimal performance (at least a couple of hours), so if a quick peek is what's required you may be better with a refractor. If you're in Sydney a trip to Bintel or Andrews communications would a good idea, however the best approach would be to attend a local get together and experience first hand what others are using.
