Sil, what you describe with the cheap and nasty 76mm Newts, is more of the same complaints I read about them 12 months ago, when I was looking at buying my first telescope.
It's why I decided on the 130mm SkyWatcher. Because the shop I was buying from didn't carry Orion, no way to consider the 100mm. The 130mm I have is a really good balance between size and capability for a first scope.
