I'm not sure. I might loose interest in my little 8" and the camera images.  |
In my experience, the primary advantage of binocular telescopes can be described as mostly qualitative in nature. You don't need stupendous aperture to access this aspect of the observing experience... a pair of 8" bino's deliver it in spades. That is not to say that large aperture bino's aren't worth the effort (which can be considerable) The views are jaw dropping.
You are also correct in saying that they will spoil you for ever, however.
