I am so torn, you have no idea. Obama can't do much to my shotgun choice right away if he were elected, so I'd have time on that.
The 12" Dob is a massive instrument however. Easily see galaxies and past the naked eyes capability. Massive light gathering, yet still portable due to its ability to break down. The fact that a scope would occupy so much space is why I never bought a large Newtonian yet. Meade has solved this problem however as you can see. That is one bad ass scope - and under $2K including all accessories to go with! Its pretty massive too! Major light gathering power. The scope is where I'm leaning at the moment. I can always buy the shotgun if a bill start going through congress, but I'm thinking the scope is my first want.
