If you are a practical sort of chap, then the skywatcher/eq6 has plenty of potential (but is a lot larger than the meade and needs a pier to work best).
Mmmm.. this is starting to sound ominous. Can you explain further what you mean by "tweaking"? Since owning a house I have become far more "practical" than I ever hoped to be or friends considered possible, but I'm not sure I want to start tinkering with the scope.
