Hi Hannah and . Both those are very basic scopes and my reccomendation and I recon most here will agree is save a few dollars more $199 and get the 'Orion Sky Scanner 100 ' from Bintel or even better the ' Skywatcher 6 inch Dobsonion ' for $329 , I know these are a little over your budget but in the long run you will have a much better scope that will show you heaps more than a 76mm will . and thats where its at , light gathering .The more light a scope gathers the brighter the views and deeper you will see into space .
Just click Bintels link on the main page here at IIS and go the Dobsonion telescopes and have a look .
Also you are buying local , so thats better for everyone + you get a money back guarentee if anything is amiss , Bintel , Andrews Communations , My astro shop and other local's are all local and great to deal with , and the guarentees give you piece of mind.
Hope this helps . .
Brian.
