Paul, have you considered getting XT10 classic?
- It is cheaper than XT8i+LOC yet you get more aperture
- Many of the concerns you have listed are not applicable to XT10 classic
- Modifying XT10 is less restrictive and you can do more to improve its AZ and ALT motions.
I have XT10 classic and so far I never regretted getting the XT10i version. I know my way around the sky and it literally takes me seconds to locate common targets using my GLP/RDF and finder scope. I do not need to worry about 2 star alignments. Granted that it would take me more time to find elusive targets for the very first time; however, once I find them it gets easier and easier each time I look for them.
With respect to optics, as someone who upgraded the stock optics to premium, I can tell you that the quality of the stock optics is great and worth the money.
