No, you're *not* a pain in the butt, you're simply nervous about spending money on something that you're not totally au fait with, and reaching out for help. Nothing wrong with that.
Duncan, not everyone is a fait with Googling...
Anyways, the Black diamonds are supposedly SkyWatcher's premium scopes, they seem to be well received. For the price, it looks like a good buy - 8" optics for pretty good light resolving ability, EQ5 mount, reasonably solid. Also has built in motor drives in box axises. No go to, but you can always add that on later. I'd go that rather than the dob to be honest.
