Hi David,
As we spoke, if you don't need Goto, its a much much simpler world....
lots of 8" SCTs out there especially on Astromart...
Only problem is that apart from the $800-$1000 or so for a second hand OTA, you will need to invest in a sturdy (and of course expensive) mount.

anyway, good luck to us in our quest for bigger aperture..
