This is a good scope, although I own the 10" version.
The best advantage is being able to use those high power eyepieces thanks to the tracking.
I found the 10" collapsible to be on the verge of being to heavy and awkward to carry around as a whole, but all in all very portable when you want to pack it up and take it somewhere or just pick it up and take it outside. I don't think I would've enjoyed manhandling the 12" due to it's size and weight.
