I've owned the G8 and the optics were very good but I didn't care for the cg5. I like the starbright coatings more than the Meade LX90's but I think you will appreciate being helped in locating things in the sky. The Megellan I can always be upgraded. I'd go with the LX10 because of the mount w/ computer. Good luck.
