14" Skywatcher GOTO or 16" GSO with Argo Navis??

Hi all,

Wonderful Christmas here. I have a card from my wife saying that she is going to get me a big dob once I find where to put it in the house. She says she was looking at the 14" GOTO Skywatcher, but when I spoke about Argo Navis the other day is now unsure which way to go (i.e. 16" GSO with Argo Navis is a similar budget scope to 14" GOTO Skywatcher).

Is there any opinions out there as to which is better? Is there a big difference in portability/weight or optics? I know Argo Navis doesn't track but I have plenty of experience with moving dobs around the sky (albeit with 10" of aperture).

Any help appreciated!!

P.s. I have a great wife...
