Quite like the look of this one:

... particularly the Choclimation Eyepiece... but not sure how it will deal with solar viewing ๐Ÿ˜‰

It's better suited for viewing this.

I just ordered one. ย Mainly for the object lens cap which match the colour of my nexstar (Celestron stupidly giving me a mismatch black cover, duh). ย Excellent value and will surely fit on my backpack!

Excellent value

Yes, of course! I'd forgotten! This telescope will indeed be very good value because there's no VAT!

A famous court case in 1991 ruled that there is no VAT on Jaffa Cakes because they are cakes, not biscuits. A biscuit (chargeable to VAT) is hard but goes soft when stale, whereas a cake (VAT exempt) is soft but goes hard.

And if it's too heavy, you know what to do with the contents. Which will also increase its usefulness as a telescope.
