Go for Dobs
I was given a "cheapie" for xmas. Lucky I had an interest in astronomy so I perservered. The cheapie is now used for solar and lunar viewing only. Go for the Dob option. Better everything. When I went to my first dark site viewing with the local club (without scope), I was told to watch how each type of scope was assembled. The setup time ranged from 2 minutes (Dob) to 30 minutes (sct. then wait for stars to align).
