I'd go for the dob. I'm bias obviously. I had a smallish newt on a small eq mount, not the 150, they can be a bit wobbly. Not the easiest to set up to begin with but OK for visual. But if your just using it for visual spend the money on the optics not a mount.

Hi Darren.

 

I'm sure others will be along offering better advice, but I'd be looking at skywatcher 6" dob on that budget as they usually other the best pounds per aperture.

 

Or maybe a second hand celestron 4se if you get lucky.

Sound advise
