Default Compact 8" scope suggestions (no GOTO required)

Hi,

I'd like to upgrade my existing 6" Orion Europa to something with a bit more
light gathering power but I need to keep the size of the scope relatively
compact. I don't feel any great urge to get a GOTO scope nor do I need
anything suitable for photography.

I've had a little look around but the compact scopes seem to really quite
expensive and\or have GOTO at 8". Can anyone give me any pointers to models
I may have missed?

Many thanks,

Ash
Cambridge
