Hi Jom,
I'm still relatively new to the hobby, however having just been through this whole process I'll back up what the others have said. When I first began looking I wanted an EQ mounted newt. However, the more research I did (a good 6 months worth), I eventually got to the point where I picked up a 12inch GOTO collapsible dob - I love it.
I would like to get into imaging one day, however right now for my visual needs, it is perfect. I would recommend all other wanting to get into visual astronomy and just starting out to get a dob. They are wonderful telescopes.
