I'm with Greg and I will echo the words of one Peter Ward. The mount is everything. There are cheaper OTA's that work just as well with some tweaks but bottom line is that if the mount is average then having a great scope will mean nothing.
Buy a really good mount. I have had Tak mounts (software integration is a problem with them and having no homing ability) and these were lovely but my recommendation is either a Software Bisque mount or an AP mount. Both are rock solid performers and will be the last mount you buy.
