I'm not much more than a beginner myself, but for me I found it much more valuable to learn to find my way around with a Telrad or similar, knowing that I would never forget how to do it (kind of like riding a bike) and that that knowledge would be priceless. Later on when I upgrade to an equatorial mount I'll get one with go to capability as my main aim will be imaging (finding a target and sticking with it for the night).
Just my thoughts
