100% agree, but for me it was, many years ago I rushed in, like many thinking I know best, and bought a 120mm Acromat, this was 15 years ago, sold after a month, then I bought a 8" observatory class newtonian, again thinking I knew what I wanted, waste of £2k, sold, came back to Astronomy two years ago and spent SIX months asking questions on this and other forums, re bought a refractor and have never looked back, but got the right one this time.
Buy in haste, repent at leisure
