ok, top first a c9.25 is a rippa, but really up there in price say $6000 including a really solid mount.

i have a 10" dob which is great and very portable as it is on a mick pinner buggy. it is now motorized, so for $2500, you would have change left over. you would have to fiddle to install etc.

Not many guys i know have reflectors on eq mounts apart from bird, but his bohemoth really needs a titan mount and that is really expensive.

so i know i have not really answered your question, but dob mounts seem to be very flexible and cheap, hence leaving money for cameras for planetary work etc????

the new lightbridges look great and look portable
