Hello Tim...the best advice would be to take that $2500 and put it aside for a while. The next bit of advice is to seek out your local Astronomical Society and attend a public viewing night..go there and take advantage of the opportunity to view through the different scopes and talk to the owners. Don't get hung up on having to learn the terminology...it will come..gradually. Unfortuanetly you appear to be suffering from the same affliction that we all as beginners were confronted with...having the $$$'s and tons of enthusiasm. Don't rush the decision but do take advantage of your local group and don't listen to people who say Refractors are better than Reflectors or are brand pushers because everything has advantages and disadvantages. This is probably not what you want to hear but it my honest advice to you.
