Hey Natalie,
Like Brian said, see if you can get to an astro-club before you lay your money down. You can then see both styles of scopes in action. From set up, to use, and take down. The asto-club lisiting in the "Our Community" heading in the left margin.
Even do it twice. The first time is all very exciting, and garranteed you will come away even more starry eyed. A second visit will see you with a better understanding.
