You would probably be quite happy with a 6" $349 or an 8" $399 size mirror.

Took the words right out of my mouth.
To elaborate, buying an eq mounted scope at the budget price end is bad news. They are flimsy, wobbly and an exercise in frustration.
With a dob the lions share of the $ is going into the telescope itself, rather than a wobbly mount.
