Honestly for a 6yo I dont see why you'd need anything more than one of those little tabletop Dobsonians, for your self you'd be better of getting something a little beefier later.
My logic is, why should you spend 300 on a scope thats half way in between. I doubt your 6yo will be able to tell the difference. So what I'm saying is, get a cheap little scope for the 6yo, use the money use save plus anything else you save up later to get something more substantial. Especially if you wanna rekindle your interest in astronomy.
