Answer
Dear Yasir,

This sounds like a very serious financial decision for you.  I think you ought to ask one of the AllExperts who has more personal experience with telescopes.  I recommend that you ask Tom Whiting or Paul Wagner.

I hope this is helpful.  I would try to answer your question, but I think Tom and Paul are better qualified.

Keep Looking Up!
