Tom,
just an idea, have a look at this 18" hubble optics scope, it also has a goto option, all in its about ~$5300,

Thats alot of scope for sure. If I didnt have mine already , it would probably be top of my list. It took me almost 2 years to find the scope I got, there were alot less options back then.
check out its goto control system, looks pretty cool !!

you can even add an argonavis to this goto system (while not necessary), its what I use on my 20"
I have to say, I'm fairly impressed with this setup, especially given the price..

Carrying around my 20" obsession is going to kill me, but what a way to go. :)
