I can see where you're coming from where newbie has a couple of grand to spend and wants the biggest bang for their buck, so they get recommended an EQ6 or HEQ5 and 10 inch or 8 in imaging newt. In capable hands yeah they are powerful but definitely hard to master. The best starter pack for newbies might be an EQ5 with an ED80. The problem is, the ED80 costs the same as the 10 inch newt. If I was starting out in astronomy and someone told me I could either have this itty bitty refractor or this big powerful reflector for the same price, well I think you see the problem.
