Default Decided to stop buying telescopes?

Hello, this is my first foray into s.a.a., so my question may seem a
bit strange. I've got a 10" Dob from Hardin, and recently had an
attack of Aperture Fever. Then I read some postings on s.a.a. that
said an 8 or 10" can keep you humming for many years, probably a
lifetime.

So, I'm almost at a point now where (heaven forbid!) whenever I hear
about a StarMaster or a TScope or (fill in the blank), I say -- "you
already have a big scope, dummy!".

Anyone else come to this conclusion?

Actually, part of the reason for this is I got the DSH-10 when it was
$395, and I don't want to ever sell it. Also, FWIW, I've got an ST80,
an Orion 90mm f/10 and an Orion 120mm f/8.3 Astroview, but
collectively have spent less than $1500 for all 4 combined.

Elliott
