Refractor costs !! A SCT or Mak Cas in the size he is talking about would be a minimum IMHO. A short Newt or any of the folded optics options will give aperture..

I was mostly thinking that with the budget he has, given a dobson mount isn't an option and a need for compactness. With investment in a mount that's not going to be an experience in shaky unpleasantness, he'd be in the value mass produced refractor territory and only a few mm shy of what he't get in a small MK/MC anyway. Have instant grab'n'go and a superior terrestrial option but I for some reason didn't think about short newts which is kinda crazy considering he'd listed the 130EQ as an option..
