I would always recommend a dob as big as you can afford/handle. If you are concerned about tremors affecting you when using a non goto model I would suggest you try and get along to an observing night or club night and see if you can try one out. At least then you will know that spending the money on GoTo is really worth it. As with all things, scopes are a trade off. With GoTo you sacrifice aperture for convenience.
I would agree with Allan that the $SE is not a bad scope BUT it is still only 4" so very limited in terms of DSOs that t can capture.
