Do you think you might want a larger aperture telescope? Here are some things you should first consider:
Cons:
This is a big telescope and requires the use of a ladder. If you are not comfortable climbing, leaning and sitting on ladders then a big telescope is not for you.
This is not a telescope for impromptu, "I only want to view for 15 minutes" viewing sessions. There is set-up time, thermal equilibration time, viewing time, and tear-down time. You should plan on committing at least several hours to each viewing session. If this doesn't seem realistic then a big telescope is not for you (or you just need an observatory to house the telescope).
Pros:
This telescope will cure all but the most severe forms of aperture fever.
This telescope will allow you to see the Great Orion Nebula in natural color.
This telescope will allow you to view (and see) objects without averted vision.
This is definitely a telescope for deep sky enjoyment --- realize dust lanes, galactic arms, and nebular structure instead of faint fuzzy blotches.
