EXCELLENT point Tony,
Of course, with this sort of knowledge (the post) and experienced advice on what can be purchased second hand, the only way is up for the beginners reading this....
As a new starting point (and with 5-6yr warranty), the new packages certainly have their place, however you rightly point out that bargains can be had by shopping on IceTrade here with some local knowledge first. This is especially good for those who aren't 100% confident of a long range pursuit of Astronomy and want to get into it relatively cheaply.
Certainly bang for your buck too!
Thanks for contributing.
Cheers
Chris
