Get one of the 8" Dobs ("GS-680") if you can afford it. The extra aperture makes a lot of difference to the number of objects and the amount of detail you will be able to see. The only diff between the "Limited" and the "Deluxe" is the Crayford style focuser and it's well worth the upgrade. If you want ongoing support, help with using and maintaining the scope, you might like to consider Bintel. They are a bit dearer but it's worth it in the long run. They are also probably better at putting together a custom package for you (e.g., I'd get that Crayford upgraded to the newer 10:1 model with the fine focuser, real nice at high powers).
