Get the 10" scope Dob as it will give the best magnification
for the dollar, and as Suzy said stick some wheels on it and it will be a piece of cake to move around 
I look forward to being part of your Journey into Astronomy

Thanks so much Ron for the warm welcome - very happy to be here!
everyone has been very helpful already so appreciate that. The wheels on the Dob (go round and round
- sorry couldn't resist!) , sound like a great idea...we're looking to buy a new car soon and the main priority, well, one of them anyway, is that it has to have enough room in the back to transport the Dob, lol..Will mostly use it in the backyard but would also like to pop it in the car and take up a mountain nearby for an even better view.
Thanks again Ron!
p.s - had to laugh at Suzy's post re the Sombrero Galaxy story - you poor thing! (all part of the learning curve I guess, I'll try not to do the same thing but can't promise.
)
