I think i want something that is going to give a clear picture of whats out there, for example with the the Tasco what i think was venus just looked like a smudge. i'm starting to think that i'm not going to get a good look at saturn or jupiter with this scope.

HI Robbo
That is exactly what I did 20 years ago. I saw a view of saturn through an 8" Dob at 250 Mag and I was hooked. I went out and bought an 8" Dob kit for close to $2000. I have spent close to $60000 on telescopes and accessories since then so be warned! I still have my 114mm Tasco and use it sometimes.
