Well said Alex, there is a lot to be said for good old hand powered push to mounts!
Another thought Chris, you made a comment that you wished you could look through some scopes. The size scope you are talking about is quite large.
I have a 12" solid tube dob. I had it in the back of my car on Friday at work before heading to Snake Valley and a work colleague commented on how big it was and at first he though I had a hot water system in my car.
If you buy a scope unseen in these sizes you may be shocked at how large, heavy and cumbersome they are. Especially when you consider setting up and taking down in the dark! If you can get to see one in the flesh that is a good idea.
