You have much to learn because you are just starting. Learning to use 1 telescope and accessories (essential parts) will keep you busy.
After learning about your telescope, you will be able to decide to get another telescope or not AND you will be able to make a more informed choice.
Buying 4 telescopes together will make learning very complicated and confusing.
The people who have many telescopes have bought them over a period of time.
So if you do buy just 1 telescope, then consider the size AND weight.
10" newtonian is big and heavy - needs heavy duty mount.
8" mak / ED127 medium size and weight.
So mak or ED will be easier to move. Will you keep the telescope in your house?
I started with a 6" newt, after 1 year I sold it and bought a 6" sct. Then sold the sct and I now have a 120" refractor that I like better than the newt/sct.
As I learned about telescopes, astronomy AND what sky objects I liked to look at, I could decide what equipment would suit me.
So be patient or you may be selling a lot of used equipment.

Good advice...and may I add most likely selling at a significant discount too
