The mini-giants are Overpriced & can be bought cheaper OSeas. The 15x70 are reasonable value to get you started with binoculars-which are not planetary instruments, though can be used for tracking jov moons

Do you want to handhold or use a tripod?
For handholding a 10x50 will be fine as in the burbs the 7mm exit pupil will be wasted in the mini giants.

The st80 is also not a planetary instrument IMO, if you want planet views ozscopes has a 6" dob on eBay for $279-priced similarly to what you are looking at
