Hi there, Esseth,
Do you really, REALLY want to be like us? Joining the 'dark side' has its consequences.
An 8" scope can give a life time of faithful service, no pun intended. I suppose the main thing would be an assessment of your lifestyle & finances. The scope, along with a couple of good EPs would set you up for life. Apeture fever should not be discounted, so how disciplined are you?
Do you have a track record of jumping from one thing to another? This can be a real kicker!
If your better half can appreciate what you have achieved with the binos, it may be easier. My wife has known me for 12 years, all along with my astro thing. She still cannot understand my sniffing, injecting, drinking & the big bucks sunk into it.
Good luck, is all else I can offer.
