Thanks guys. I have had some experience with an 8" SCT. Nice and compact and it is easy to get tracking but the expense vs aperture for the setup i'd like and along with the longer cool times and dew issues, i'd rather avoid Cats. I did look at the SCT for sale you PM'd Alex, the dob has a smaller footprint and will take up less space. It's likely i'd be pulling the OTA off the tripod to reduce the space it took up and increasing setup time.
Bought a 10" collapsible dob. Already having the AN helped lean me this way as i can easily get another encoder system. For less money than a 100ED OTA alone i got the 10" dob and will be able to add encoders. I have no plans for AP and aperture rules.
