Hi,
I agree. My learning curve has included 2 Dobs, 2 refractors, a Alt-Az mount and an EQ mount.
For your first, get a 200mm (I refuse to use inches, I'm progressive

) or a 250mm Dob (a Newtonian on a Dob mount). The first is transportable without much bother. The larger might be better for you in a collapsible truss tube design.
Cheers
