For a first scope my preference would be a 10" collapsible or the 8" Go To which can be picked up for $1000. The 8" will be easier on collimation and cheaper eyepieces at F6. The 10" are F4.7. Goto and tracking just make things easier and in my experience I'd have seen a lot more with an 8" that had goto than a 10 without when I was starting. You could also look at the Orion intelliscope dobs that look reasonably priced under $1000.
