Thanks for the feedback peoples. In line with the popular choice in the poll I have decided to go with the 12" Ltd with the 4 bundled plossls at 4, 6, 20 and 25mm, (I already have a 15mm) along with a Rigel QF, Cheshire Collimator, GS 26 & 32mm 65deg 2" EP's, and a GS achro 2x Barlow. I also wanted the 40mm GS EP, but Andrews had no stock. I ordered yesterday, and they are shipping today so I won't see it for the weekend.
I figure this is a good enough mixture to get me launched, and will add the Crayford focuser and better EP's once I have looked through others and have a clearer idea of where I am heading with this. The first job I will be doing (after collimating it) is to add either a 80 or 100 mm computer case fan to the base of the mirror cell. I have both, but will need to see which is the better fit.
Suck or blow? I think blow would be better, especially if I can somehow direct the air flow over the mirror to break up the boundry layer effect.
Once again thanks for the great advice, and I'm sorry about the next 6 weeks of cloud cover and bad weather!
