The best advice is always try and find a local astronomy group and have a first hand look at / through some different scopes if you can. What ever scope you buy you will wish you went a bit bigger, this is quite a common condition called aperture fever. Don't dismiss second hand scopes either, there are plenty of high quality scopes for sale if you look around. Coma and collimation are not a big issue for visual use.
