Hi Travesso,
Welcome to the best Astronomy forum,I also, have ever come across,INMHO.
There is a wealth of helpful friendly people here,who have vast experience,Far,Far,Greater than mine.
Although I have Telescopes, and Binoculars, I use Binoculars,for Astronomy far more than Telescopes.
I have the LW 20x80's from A.O.E, which would probably suit your tripod a little better than the Triplets,NOT because they are better,But because they are lighter.
I believe the triplets,are heavier than the LW's,and would need a more stable tripod,to give you stable views.(Most Important)
M42 in Orion is stunning,as is the Moon,Pleiades,Omega Centauri,and Many Other objects,and, especially,panning across the Milky way,Just Blows me away,Every time.
Bottom line,
There is a place for ANY,and EVERY, Viewing Instrument in Astronomy,
It Mainly comes down to Personal Choice.
I Personally like Binoculars,Because they give (Mostly),Wide views,which allow me to see a lot of Sky,and different objects, at the one time,although,not at high Magnification.
Just my take.
Regards.
John
