hah.. If all it takes to cool your feet is collimation, dew and a reflection that may be easy enough to fix, you best stay away from telescopes...
Newtonians - Require collimation, require secondary dew heaters
Refractors - require heaters, can get reflections
SCT/Mak Newt/MCT/SN - can get reflections, require collimation and dew control.
No matter what scope you buy in this price bracket, there are going to be extras to buy, there are going to be modifications to be made and issues to rectify... If a bit of dew control, careful collimation, a focuser and an internal reflection is all this scope needs to be as good as it can be, I say its awesome.
