"Any scope is better than no scope" - I like that! It keeps with my all round philosophy when advising beginners. It is the reason why I tell beginners not to get hung up on collimation as an slightly imperfectly collimated scope being used to observe is much better than one that spends hours being adjusted to micrometer perfection then never gets out because the owner is to frustrated.
While we give out advice which we all hope is helpful, our main aim should always be to get people out looking at the night sky with whatever equipment they can afford, be comfortable with and hopefully enjoy using.

Cheers
