lol, I question my sanity and experience all the time.
I know the wife always does.
In terms of the scopes I find things start to really open up around 8" but start to really take shape at 12".
In terms of bang for buck its hard to go past a dobsonian and even if it has goto as well. Checking some local retailers you can get a 10" or 12" goto Skywatcher for under 3K.
You can always go second as scopes do come up regularly on iceinspace classifieds.
