Build your own. See Sidewalk Astronomers/ John Dobson or purchase one through that club, I suggest a 10" for practical portability. The fine polish and eyepieces are the critical components.
Life is like a box of chocol- make that an engine compartment. You never know where the tubes go or how to rout a belt 'less you read the diagram on the underside of the hood. Do it right the 2nd time. So when all else fails, READ THE INSTRUCTIONS.
Be good do good feel good live good.
