The main problem for beginners is that they resist putting money into the mount, and yet the commonest mistake by far is to compromise on the mount. Without a stable mount, even excellent optics aren't going to compensate for the fact that whatever you're looking at will shake around like crazy in the eyepiece. The cheapest, stable mount that will allow you to still spend the bulk of your money on a decent aperture? A dob.
