My initial concern with the dobs was portability however after more reading I can see that really it shouldn't pose too many problems at all. And given the small amount I want to spend I can't be too picky!!
I was looking at the Bintel site earlier today and they have a Skywatcher 6" for $325 or a Bintel 8" for $499. Nearly everything I have read has supported the 8" argument but given the relatively substantial jump in pricing and the good reports of the 6" I really have some decisions to make. Do I want to take the cheaper option and jump straight in, or do I want to wait that little bit longer to save the full $500...
