A dob-buyers' market - Isn't it great!
No Kevin, there is nothing philosophically wrong with a dobsonian-mounted reflector. There are advantages and disadvantages to each form of scope/mount configuration. Everyone has their preferences. In my view the only thing more intuitive than a dob is an SCT or refractor on a fork mount, but not by much. A cheap mass-produced dob will work, but may be better with a little bit of DIY on the bearings. Plenty of threads on such matters here.
Of course, there is the infamous "dob hole"! Eeeek! But there are easy ways around that.
