I have an Astromaster sitting in the top of a closet, it never gets used but I can't get rid of it because it was a gift and has no real value anyway. Get the dobsonian, much easier to use and you can easily understand the Altitude and Azimuth (Compass heading) of objects in the sky. Any EQ manual mount is going to be a struggle for beginners. Have a look at 'ALL' the dobsonian options in the size range your considering, Bintel provide good service for beginners and you can't go wrong talking to them on the phone.
