Dobs are great bang for you buck, but before you hand over the $$$ ask yourself if you will use it as much as a smaller scope that is more portable?
The last thing you want to do is get the dob and then realise that it is too big!
I am having a small dilemma with regards to purchasing my first telescope (currently using 10x50 binoculars). I have attended a few star parties and see the advantages of each of the main types of telescopes available. Then add the great prices you can buy kit for at the moment and you can see why I haven't made a decision yet....
I am in the process of hiring a scope from my astronomy club to see if I have the same love for a certain type of scope after using it for a while. It might save me money in the long run.
The best advice I can give you is "don't rush".
Sean.
