Astrogeek mate,
I once owned a truss tubed scope a 350mm f5. Twas a fantastic scope and the truss made it more convenient to transport but setting it up all the time was a pain. My advice for wot its worth save your money and buy the GSO unless;
1. You
have to travel a lot to get to a dark site.
2.your vehicle is too small to acommidate the GSO (which I think most cars would be).
If your scope is mainly for home use, go GSO.
