Wow - thank you all SO much for the time taken to lead me in the right direction! I feel so much more confident in making a decision now

Have printed our your suggestions and will take them with me when I go to check out some scopes "in the flesh" next week.
I'm getting so excited - can't wait to surprise my darling hubby on his birthday!
Thank you all again - very, very much.
Have a wonderful Christmas tomorrow,
Tasha :-)
