+1 from a new kid, who was trying to make the same decision not that long ago (and to be fair, I still want one of EVERYTHING).
one of the most helpful things I did was to head out to a camp (Hi, SVers!
) where very generous folks answered my many, repetitive, questions with great enthusiasm and patience. They made their suggestions (and everyone had a different one!) and I spent some time thinking about my situation and how I want to use my scope.
I couldn't recommend more strongly finding some folks near you (and there are plenty) who can share their experiences with you.
