Hi Snug,
What about a small ETX to start off with. Portibilty is good and you can pack it away in mins. I used a 85mm refractor on a tripod for the past 4 or 5 years before upgrading. And for me portibilty was every thing. With a bigger scope you could quickly loose intrest lugging it in and out and back and fourth if you are not truely into it. But i would say a small ETX and you would get great enjoyment out of it.
