Robert.
depends, like anything in this game.
If you have had nothing prior to this, then it will satisfy your appetite, and probably make you want bigger/better.
Where a lot of folk go wrong is by suggesting that this style of scope is not worth buying, when they compare it to what they have. In my case, I likely started with something like this, and have progressed over the (45+) years.
Before you buy, can you get together with others in your area? This will allow you to see what others are using and try them. It may mean you sit tight and get something better. If I had to be honest I would have suggested buying from a more specialized astro outlet, not DSE.
