That's all well and good Robert and I agree wholeheartedly with your post but I don't think you've read the OPs original posts nor understood his requirements. Treking back to Vi's original posts he states that he is after someting portable as he sometimes treks a few ks to his dark site. I got the impression that this scope was a bit of a fun scope for him at his dark site until his living arrangements changed. I can't think of another scope that could be walked in a few ks other than a 3 or 4 inch refractor or a tabletop 5 inch dob.

I'm a she
. But yes, this is correct - I'm looking for the largest
portable aperture I can get right now, and I'm planning for a much bigger scope later. You mentioned a 5" tabletop dob as an option and I see that you own an SW one - what are your opinions on it in terms of camping convenience/general performance?
EDIT: while I was writing this you answered my question! Thanks, that's definitely something I'll consider. At $200 it's a fairly risk-free option too
