I am very happy with what I have now.... six years down the track...

I started with a nice size 6 inch refractor and no "go to" stuff, which made it mutch more user friendly...
and then got the Borge for traveling and the LX200 in a moment of weakness ( thats what I tell her ) when in Hong Kong, in the middle of the SARS Flu scare...( all prices where down abotu 40% at that time!!!!)

If I had to change, it would be to add another scope... even though a Richey Criten does "turn my focus nobs late at night"... I'd never use it to it's max potential.

I would how ever love to make a MONSTER DOBB one day, say 30 to 40 inch one. I had the pleasure of peeping for a few minutes through a portable one in africa, set up on a trailor to travel... and all I'll say is OOOHHHH WOWWWWWWWWWW... it makes fuzzzzy balls in to crips pin cushions...but my wife would cut bits off me ( which I still need) if I came home with one more toy!!!
