After A New Scope

Hi,
After many years of using a small 60mm refracter with a mount like a jelly and a pair of 8x40 binos (which outperformed the refractor!), I am considering buying some new equipment. Now what I have in my sights at the moment is a Meade DS-90EC 90mm refractor which seems very reasonably priced. As I live in apartments with a communal garden I will have to lug this equipment there whenever there is a clear night. My choice seems to be restricted to refractors considering I live in a light polluted urbun area and I want something portable. Are there any reviews on this instrument on-line anywhere? Has anyone actually used one?
Thanks.
