Hi Nifty.
Never too old to start.
I would caution against a Newt on a GEM as you have to get into some funky positions occasionally to be able to look through the eyepiece.
My knees and back aren't what they used to be so for me it's quite awkward.
Dob mounts are much easier on the back and knees for Newts.

I would stick with the lx or go the dob.
