Well , first, i'm a total noob too, but i have just bought and am very happy with a Skywatcher 8" Dob from Bintel.

I paid $449 for it, but bought a right angle finderscope, 32mm EP, and a 15mm EP.
Skywatcher comes with 25mm and 10mm
Total price $650

The reason i did not go with their own Bintel model is purely because they will not get any stock in until May !!

I looked at their models in the shop, and i think that there mount tensioner looks better than the Skywatcher, and they also come with a Crayford Focusser rather than a standard rack and Pinion.

As i said previously i'm very happy with my purchase and highly recommend Bintel for their service

Not a lot of info i know, but i hope it helps a little

Stu
