Guys, thanks for all your advice.
A few years ago I did have a ride out to the observatory in Gingin, they had a range of scopes available to view from. They had several large Meades agonst others (can't remember exact models but I believe they were 16 and 12 inch cassegrains) which I thought offered a great view from, thats probably why I decided on the Mak and also because of its smaller size for storage.
Looks like I have some reading to do...
