Dobs are often recommended, but what about...

Hi,
I'm brand new to both this site and to stargazing. It's great that these types of forums exist!
I'm in the process of getting my first real telescope and scanning the pages of this forum the Dobsonian's seem the most recommended. I looked at this guide and decided that I wanted to be able to see objects beyond our solar system as a little more than a bright fuzz. At this point I realised that unless I had several thousand $$'s at my disposal I'd be hard pressed to find something within my price range ~ $600. There was though a telescope that was reasonably priced and, based on the above guide, would satisfy my "needs".
Would someone with some experience mind giving me some input as to whether or not the below scope would allow me to see DSO with a relative degree of clarity - relative to an 8" or 10" dob?
Thank you in advance!!
