Being a newbie myself, I also kept reading the best bang for buck is the Dobson. However, I also wanted to use my scope terrestrially so a big dob just isn't going to cut it. I would like to get a dob one day if the hobby stays, but for now, I want something that is quick and easy to set up day or night, because I know it will get far more use here. So a refractor it is. Both types have their place, you just have to work out which suits you best.
