Draco, I would second the choice of a collapsible dob. If you're buying new, use it as it comes for a while before doing any mods, Sure, the base will probably benefit from a lazy-susan bearing eventually, but there's quite a bit of fiddling required to get the necessary friction balance, which could be a turn-off if you haven't used the scope before. I fitted a lazy-susan to my SW collapsible but only after about 3 years of use.
