Is this the kind of collapsible dob that you guys are suggesting may be appropriate for my requirements?

I think it may be a bit expensive as it's the same price as a new one with a 5 year warranty, although the second hand one has a fair few eye pieces and filters.
I'd probably prefer the warranty and shop support for peace of mind for a noob.
