Hi Matt,
I had a 12" collapsible dob and while it was awesome for beautiful images, my penchance for wanting to take photos was one of the reasons I sold it, so I could get an 8" on an HEQ5 Pro. Heavy eyepieces weren't an issue and the colours in some nebulae were quite visible (Orion, eta carina etc).
I agree with Rod, if you can afford it (check out Andrews Comms), but the goto version so you can use the laptop or the handset to "make it so" and go to anything you want, without having to star hop, which becomes annoying at high power if there is no tracking.
Fantastic bang for your buck and very easy to setup and collimate, the secondary cage is very rigid and holds collimation well.
Cheers
Chris
