I don't know about the Long Pern scopes either.
But for entry level, you can't go past an ED80 (any brand). I've got the Saxon brand and it's great for the price.
If you want a bit of a flatter field and sharper lens, start looking at Taks and Williams Optics, but then they're hardly entry level as you're spending thousands then, instead of hundreds.
As Monte said, with an ED80 you'll also want to consider the WO 0.8x reducer or similar, as there's a bit of field curvature in the ED80's.
