Answering your question, I would say the LX90 because the goto software
has more features (such as spiral search, computer control via
laptop/internet) which will make finding objects easier for the
students. Currently it includes a CCD camera in addition to a $150 cash
rebate for Meade extras. I went through a deep comparison a few months
ago and finally settled on the LX90. I'm happy with my decision.
