which are then followed by the "get the 8" dob" posts :p

Are we that predictable?
elusiver, i've seen you grow in excitement at the austech forums, great to see you've signed up here. You'll be sure to learn heaps!
I'll re-iterate what Rob said, if you can get to a local meeting/observing session (ASV or something) you'll see the different types of scopes, and which one(s) suit your budget.
However the 8" dob is a great scope, and if you dive right in and get it now, you won't be disappointed. You will have to learn to collimate, which can be scary at first, but again if you go to the local viewing nights, some experienced guys will be able to help.
Some IceInSpacers from Melbourne often have a meetup as well, and they'll definitely be able to help you!
Good luck and come back often!
