Hi Jowel, just a couple of things to consider...
(1) astronomy is a lot like amateur radio in that with the best of equipment atmospherics are still going to rule your observing.
(2) there is no perfect telescope.
(3) there are really great telescopes for many different aspects of astronomy and the secret is to start simple and move into the area that grabs you.
(4) I love my 8" LB not because it is the worlds greatest telescope but because it answers my needs for my type of observing.
(5) read all of the above with large grains of salt cause it is only my opinions and I, as she who must be obeyed reminds me, am many times wrong.
