My concern would be in recommending an f/4.4 reflector to a beginner. Such a fast focal ratio newt is going to be tricky to collimate, show a lot of coma and be very demanding on the cheap eyepieces that come with it.

If the best alternative - saving up an extra $100 or so for a 6" dob - isn't possible then a decent 70mm refractor would be a lot more user-friendly.
