It will be waaaaaay easier for you and your son to use and you'll see heaps more in a shorter amount of time than what you will with the telescope in your post. Comes with superior eyepieces and collimation tools too - i.e. all ready to go. Any questions just ask

$300 is the starting price. I'd be surprised if it went for that. I'll be keeping an eye on that.
