Mak and Dobson

All,
My Doboson is a Bintel and so the optics are OK but not stellar. I take the beast out if I have a lot of time.
My Mak is the one I contemplate to replace, it is optically great it is a early Intes MK-65 with the helical start diagonal focuser unit, a bit hard to get focus for all my EPs and the cool down period is quite long. Before I got the Mak (1992) I had a Vixen 102mm f10 Achromat and the Intes was a step up in resolution.
Now I am contemplating to get something which cools down faster, is still as portable as the Mak is and shows at least what the Mak showed on Planets and double starts. I observe mostly from my backyard.
Cheers.
