Hi Michael. I have found some bargains on Gumtree. I check it regularly. I have a Celestron C102-HD (4inch) refractor on an equatorial mount(EQ), an 8'' Skywatcher Newtonian Reflector on EQ mount and a small 76mm Celestron reflector on an ALT AZ mount. You are welcome to come over and put them through their paces if you like. Drop me a PM to discuss it further if you like.
This way you can get to use a variety of telescopes to see which you like.
