Hi Luke

to IceInSpace!

First thing you should do, is remember it's astronomy not astrology.

Those scopes aren't bad, but they're not the best value for your money. I guess it can depend on what your budget is and what you want to do with the scope..
So, some questions:

1. What's your budget?
2. Do you need something you can transport or will you always use it at home?
3. Do you want to do astrophotography, or just observing?
4. If photography, do you want to do deep-space imaging or planetary/lunar imaging?

There's a big difference in scope requirements and budget requirements depending on your answers

Well done on getting advice before making that purchase! You came to the right place.
