Hi Ben,
The progression always seems to be towards longer focal length and usually people start with a 500-600mm apo on a reasonable mount- the ed80 neq6 combination seems to be about the best bang for buck. Then as you start looking for longer focal lengths you'll have a much better idea what you want. I'm South of the river in Bateman, and will have my gear running in the backyard over the next few nights - if you'd like to see a good 4" apo and a 10" newt in action pm me and you're welcome to drop by for a look.
Cheers,
Andrew.
