The EZ11 is a Red dot finder, if you find it difficult to use get the Telarad and the cover or heater as the dewing will drive you crazy.
The Telrad will give you a broader window to look through and with the Bulls Eye and degree circles will be of a clearer way to line up on an object.
The reticule is dimeble so you can have it as faint as you like.
The Telrad is a bit bulkier but is a very worthwhile piece of equipment.
If you rely on the syn scan to find things then you don't need a finder,but it is still a good idea to have a finder as sometimes you just want to move the scope over to an area of the sky that takes your fancy and see what objects are in it such as clusters etc.
Cheers
