One piece of advice I give new observers is don't be in a hurry to trade up to new expensive EPs. Main reason is that in a dob, the 25mm plossl that often comes with the scope is going to do some very nice jobs on many of the objects that they will want to look at.
I can still remember my first views of Omega Cent in both 8" and 12" dobs which were both with a 25 plossl and it blew my mind both times.
