First telescope?

Hi,
I'm new to this site-forum, but I have found it really great so far for helping me figure out what I want to do about equipment.
I'm looking at starting to do some practical viewing of these things I have spent years reading up on...however, not a rich girl. So hears my thinking...feel free to correct me if i'm wrong, Thats why I'm hear!
I'm thinking of getting the Star Tracker 127 ( as I can get a nice discount at DSE, which will take it down to about $180), The reason for this one over the others is the price, and ease of purchasing. I feel like I should be able to see enough for long enough to figure out if I enjoy watching as much as reading and learning about whats out there. And if I do then I have no issue then spending more in a year or so, cause I havn't really laid out so much money on this one....and will have a better idea of what I wont to watch and what I need to do that well....
So is this line of thinking a rookie mistake or does it make sense to someone out there too?
Thanks for taking the time to at least read this!
And for all the stuff on the forums...
