I tend to agree with ving.
Starting out with the less expensive items is a good way to see how much time, effort, and money you really are willing to put into a hobby in the long run. If after a few years you find yourself still interested and wanting more then go ahead and purchase the best that money can buy.
That being said, quality should always come first no matter how much money you have to spend. If all you can afford is a few hundred $$, then make sure you are getting the best optics available for that price. My philosophy is that in some cases, you can pay 200% more for some items that give a 10% improvement in performance. In such cases, only the most dedicated and discriminating hobbiests will find benifit in spending the extra money.
