Seriously these top of the line RCs are great instruments but the investment required for someone dipping their toe into RCs is significant. Sort of like learning to drive in a Ferrari. I'd suggest starting with the basic tube version of the GSO and go from there. You will learn alot about RCs through tuning the GSO for your purposes, and not need to be too precious with it. Sure you may need to replace the focuser, and buy a collimation ring, and a few other things but the combined cost is going to be less than a third of what the entry level high end RCs would cost.
I'd like to hear what Paul Haese has to say about this topic.
