Hi Guy,
I bought a GOTO telescope and I can tell you, I will never own a non GOTO again. As you rightly say, the GOTO is not that critical once you get to know the sky, but it is very nice to have and definitely speeds up observing. But what I really like about my Dob is the tracking. There is nothing better than showing a group of people an object that never leaves the FOV. Then swapping eyepieces and filters in and out and still having the object in the same place. I hook my telescope up via wireless to my iPad and drive it from there using a sky atlas app. It sure makes for really fun observing. Good luck deciding, but I know what I would do.
