Hi Callum-welcome
Suzy as usual has given a good response to which there is little to add
My View - Binoculars are a great way to learn the sky and the constellations. Once you have the cash (or your rents have committed the money) then a 6 or 8 inch Dob is the Go. You can retrofit an argo narvis later - the fun (and on occasions the frustration) is using your knowledge to star hop out to your intended destination. There is a huge level of satisfaction being able to regularly find a an object in the TS when you understand where everything is.
It's the difference between using a map to drive there or using the TomTom to get you there without thinking.
