Depends on your seeing, but I like nice detailed lunar closeups, and Ifound anything under the focal length of the C8 was not for me. A C8 OTA can often be had for <$500.
My scope has sold, I'd keep an eye out for (or borrow) a C8 or similar. Much much much easier to handle on that mount than a newt.
I'd get the mount then trial some scopes on it before commiting to a particular scope.
