Re your storage comment. An 8"-10" Dob stored on its mount vertically will take up less room than the splayed out legs of an EQ5 or 6 Tripod. And if you collapse the mount you then have both a mount and a largish OTA and accessories to find room to hide.
My Serrurier Truss Newt doubles on both DOB mount and EQ6 as required but it takes up far less room on the DOB base, about 600 mmm square as opposed to about 2 x 1 meters on the mount.
