Went with a $40 used dobsonian over a brand new $200 refractor for my first scope
Picked up that beat up Orion on craigslist from a guy in Bakersfield and honestly the light gathering on Jupiter's moons blew away anything that little glass tube was gonna show me, who else has gone vintage over new gear and regretted or loved it?

beat up Orion on craigslist" sounds like a punk band name. I mean, $40 for a dob that can actually show you something versus a brand new paperweight with lenses, kind of a no brainer.

yeah but @rayc38, half the fun of a paperweight is the frustration you paid for.
