I have to give the thumbs up for the ES. I have 6.7 8.8 11 82* series and 16 20 and 28 in the 68* series, not at all heavy except the 2" 28mm 68* eyepiece. The ES are brilliant value for money and give great views IMO not far off others costing 3 times the price. If I was starting out again I would have look at ES or the Meade HD5000 series which is pretty the same as the paradigm 60* and $99 from Bintel. Really comes down to how much do you want to spend.
