I started with 10” Bintel solid tube dob back in 2016 and then bought a Skywatcher 12” Goto dob late 2018
I considered the 14” but it’s significantly bigger and heavier so decided on the 12” which proved to be the right decision for my situation and expectations
My 12” is kept in the garage fully extended and I just use a parcel trolley with strap to bring it out to my observing location in my Car Bay Area 6m away.
Complemented with my Televue eye pieces, Paracorr and Powermates it has plenty of light gathering power to resolve loads of celestial objects and is a joy to view the planets
I do observe under Bortle 3/4 skies which is an advantage

Cheers
Martin
