I own the SW 14" and in our group we have 2 10"s another 14" and a 8" all collapsible goto versions and everyone is quite happy with their scopes. Some have had to adjust the tension of the gears but that is easy quick tweak.

Accuracy is not really a problem and even with a rough alignment you can easily re-sync. The best thing is you use the goto completely, or not at all or bit of both, brilliant system that you can't find on many scopes. Really nice to be able to just push to the target and continue tracking, love it.

Great bang for buck scopes and you will not be disappointed.

For ease of use and quick deployment the 10" would might be the way to go as it a great size to not be a mission to move and or setup. with the 12'' and up you will need to disassemble the base as it is heavy and cumbersome for one person and this is a pain when viewing time is precocious. I'm still puting the base together for my 14" and the other guys with their 10" are all-ready up and running. Saying that it is worth the hassle ones you get to drag those photons onto that 14" primary.

Wish the 16" was out when I went to get mine.
