No problem - we were ALL newbies here (except for Mike of course!) and members of this forum generally are all pretty much mature and considerate enough so that no one, newbie or pro, ever gets treated badly.
I was brand new to this forum and to astronomy only 18 months ago, and it was the wise advice that I received here that has guided me in most, if not all, of my astronomy purchases. I know I have a hell of a lot to learn yet, but from my perspective as a "recent" newbie who has been through the same sorts of questions that you're going through now, I thought my input as to an alternative suggestion may be valid to your decision making process.
I look forward to hearing what you end up doing scope wise, and of hearing how great your "first light" session with it goes.
Remember that there ARE groups of IceInSpace members who meet up regularly (each month around new moon) and that you would always be welcome at any number of these meetings should you ever wish to attend.
Cheers!
