no need to waste so much $$ lah, next time sp got session, just go down and look thru their fs102 enough liao la. none of those scope in your list will ever match the fs102 and pentax xp's optics, the em10's tracking and sturdiness. or maybe find elton and look through his 10" teleport. charlie's flt110 would be nice too.

Allan,
Perseid's scope may not be as grab-and-go as a Mak but when packed, its very compact and portable. You also do not need a tripod. Personally, I think his scope is quite bang for buck. If you are considering second hand, can also think about Chris Yeo's DIY 6" Truss dob as well.
