I loved the C8, light, easy and fast to set up and drag around the yard or throw in the car, an 8" SCT is the sweet spot for transportability and handling and light grasp for me.
I now have a Meade 10" ACF, but don't use it as much as I did the C8 to be honest.

Thanks for the response. I had wondered about a C8 (or LX90 as mentioned), but are they really as quick to set up as the LS? I have little spare time (busy at work, three young kids) so if I'm going to buy new gear, that I don't really have the money for, ease of set-up (just visual observing) will be the absolute priority....
