My wife would be a little easier to convince if I could start buying a bit at a time...
Edit: Sorry, just to add another question to anyone familiar with purchasing telescopes and pricing. The site linked before shows the current price as $159, and the list price as $357. Is this really a good sale that one should jump on, or is it normal to catch these kind of prices and it won't hurt to wait?
