Collapsable Dobsonians

Hi guys,
I've been using a 4 inch refractor for the past year, my first telescope, and it's served me well, but I'm feeling limited by the apeture and I plan on upgrading some time soon.

I have done a lot of research and have decided to go with an 8 inch dob. But what I can't decide on is whether to pay an extra $200 for a collapsable version. It's basically increasing the price by 50% for one feature, I was wondering if it's worth it.

And one last note, is it possible to by a computerised goto mount later on for the scope if I want to delve into astrophotography?

These are the ones:

Thanks in advance for the help
