I usually take the mySky to public viewings to try to have something to talk about to people while we are waiting for it to get dark, especially at this time of year! It has always proven to be a big hit, I expect the SkyScout would be also. The only "toy" that gets more wows is the laser, but you can't use them until it starts to get quite dark. It can also come in handy to help set up the GoTo if you can't see much sky, making it difficult to identify the star you are looking at.
The mySky does seem to have problems getting GPS fixes, but I just select Melbourne from the list. Other than that, it works great (just make sure you update to version 1.2t when you get it, 1.2q that came with mine ceased to work once 2008 ticked over). Since getting it about 4 months ago I have probably had it out at least 20 times, mainly to show others.
