What do you think about the Bushnell ARES 6 inch Dobsonian?Is it comparable to orion's Dob?

I suspect this is made for Bushnell by Synta, the same company that makes Orion's Dobs. However, be aware that Bushnell has poorer quality control than Orion, so it may not be quite as good. It definitely is better than the 130EQ: larger aperture, much more solid mount.
