Rob don't worry, I am primarily in to astro photgraphy these days due to poor eyesight but even then the need for multiple scopes and camera's to capture and image the myriad of objects out there means you need deep pockets.
I've got an 8"RC and an ED80 but would like a fast f4 10" equivalent Newt or RC, a 10" f12 Mak for planetary, a 120mm APO refractor, a very good mount and numerous different camera's etc etc but alas I have not won lotto as yet
PS: would also like an acre of land and a dark site to put my 2 storey architectually designed observatory on.
At the end of the day just buy what you like the look of and stuff everyone else's opinion, I do.
