Hello again,
The goto is nice option, even if you don't set up the tracking, being able to move the scope via the controller does help keep the fast moving planets nicely in the center of the FOV. (Field of View)
Not sure where your located, but we had a 8" SW goto on sale in gumtree for $800 just before Christmas. If its your first scope and your not sure of committing, second hand purchase may be worthwhile. But try your local astro club and see if anyone might be willing to help you scope out the scope before buying one second hand.
No-one likes to get a dud...
