Yeah, I was initially trying to find the 8-24mm Baader Hyperion in stock anywhere... couldn't find it, but I found people recommending the SvBony one instead and from there found people saying the 7-21mm was good too. Given the ~ $75 posted price, it's going to give me a better idea of what focal lengths I want at a very reasonable price, even if the views don't turn out to be great.
In other news I'm off this morning to pick up a second-hand dob with argo navis and a set of Celestron eyepieces. I assume the eyepieces aren't going to be great and I'll probably move those on, but in the meantime they'll give me an idea of what I want as well.
Good news is that it's actually meant to be clear here tonight, which is surprising given the weather of late, so I may just get my first look through it tonight too. Obviously the moon is going to make dim DSO observation unlikely, but given my utter "newbieness" that's fine. I guess I'll have a look at the moon and hopefully some clusters too.
