I have to respectfully disagree. I have seen people practically in tears looking at Saturn for the first time through an 80mm scope. A small scope disappoints only if you expect it to perform like a big one. Binos are also small yet very useful and anything but disappointing. Large scopes are fantastic but there is lots of fun to be had with small scopes too (and there are some things only smallers can do).
