Meade or Skywatcher , what and why would you do ?

Need help in deciding which one , Ive been Looking at buying the skywatcher GOTO 14" Dob or the Meade Lightbridge Deluxe 16" .

The skywatcher GOTO is currently on special for $2500 while the lightbridge is $2000 , how do these scopes compare in quality ?

Would I be better off buying the Meade and fitting a Quality goto of my choice , or do the goto systems on the skywatcher work well ?

Ive also heard that the GSO mirror on the 16" Lightbridge can be hit and miss as far as quality goes , if this is the case would I be better off with the 14 " Skywatcher ?

So basically Im after a large dob with a goto that actually works well , any other suggestions on other brands would be appreciated .

THX in advance for any help
