I remember reading a post by someone who mentioned the 'sigh' factor when tackling big scopes. As they say, where there is a will, there is a way. Big Dobs will give you the best bang for your buck.
Many Dob owners make their scopes easier to move around with the addition of castors, locking castors and trollies. These basic mods are limited to your imagination and make the scopes easier to use so they see more time under the stars.
I got tired of moving my 12" Flex Tube dob around and built a removable rolling base for it. All big dobs should be sold with wheels.
