Save your money, get a nice 10" Dob.
Anything smaller than a 10" will mainly dissapoint. The border line size is 6", but your much better off with a 10". You wont need to upgrade for a while, and its still small enough to transport around easy.
Better still, go to a Astronomy club or to someone you know that has a range of scopes, and look thru them yourself.
I started this upward trend back in 1982 with my first real scope.. a 6" reflector, then an 8", then a 8" SCT then a 10"SCT then a 20" Dob. Now i have a 14" RCX plus to top it a 22" Fork mounted newtonian.
Never ends, so good luck.
