Thanks for the opinions guys.
I did look at zenithstar 73 as a option but seems a little rich for my liking and I currently can't see bundles or know if the mentioned bundle includes a mount? Will continue to keep my eyes open as I'm in no hurry but good to have avenue or an idea of what I want eventually as all I'm sure a majority will agree that the choices and options in this craft can be very overwhelming. Especially for noobs.
Thanks again
