new finderscope

Hi all,

i'm thinking about getting a better finderscope for myself. the one i currently have is rather average. and plastic. I am undecided as to whether to get a traditional 8x50 finderscope or check out one of these newer style telrad or red dot finders. Whats other people experience and/or preference. How does the telrad work. and the red dot finder? Does this project a laser into the sky to help alignment?

Cheers. Marc.

PS. How groovy are the NASA tv live feeds with the guys upstairs installing the new truss segment and solar panels onto the ISS. lucky dogs. I really picked the wrong job stuck here behind a desk...on earth
