Gino, a smaller scope is not less capable just because it is smaller. Sometimes a smaller scope can be superior to a larger one. Depends upon the quality and what you are using it for.
Not speaking for others but if Mick thinks that I have tried to shame him into buying a small telescope then I apologize to Mick.
And finally, of course it is possible to learn with an exceptional tool. My first scope was an Orion short tube 4.5" with an F/ of 3.9, an incredible wide field of view and good (at least) optics. In short, (pun intended) it was and is an exceptional telescope. Learning to collimate on a F/ 3.9 is a challenge. But the incredible views it offers of really big stuff (M-42, Eta Carina) make the challenge worthwhile.
