New to astronomy. Bought an 8" Skywatcher 200p, but having second thoughts...

You don’t need to raise the Heritage, just get a low stool to sit on. Something like this will easily fit in your car: https://www.wickes.co.uk/Wickes-Plastic-Folding-Step-Stool-Grey/p/121019

Stay with the 8"dob.

Great scope.

Thanks Ivan. Do you reckon the heritage will sit happily enough on even grassy ground?

Same with any dob. Fwiw, I put adjustable furniture cabinet feet on mine. Helps with height, ground clearance and levelling should you wish to add setting circles.

Mine sits on the grass lawn on a waterproof picnic blanket with no problem, very stable. I don't use a stool, just sit on the ground right next to it

I went ahead and ordered a Heritage 150p and a 2x Barlow. Very happy about the purchase. However, the best thing about it is that I am keeping my 8 inch Dob for home use...

Sounds like the best option! A lot of people on this forum seem to have a similar set up. Looking forward to hearing your verdict on how Heritage compares to the 8 inch as far as performance goes.

Mine sits on water butt.

Brings it up to eye level.

As you can see I like the Telrad and RACI combination. https://astro.catshill.com/finding-and-finder-scopes/ 
For finding objects I like to use an app on a tablet.
