Meade Telescopes. Which one to buy?

I'm considering getting a Meade ETX series Astro Telescope and was
looking for some feedback as to which one to buy or even another mfg.
The use will be for my father-in-law mainly, so once set up it ideally
needs to be "user friendly". I'm no rocket sceintist, but after some
brief research I think I can get this set up for him to use.
He has always wanted a telescope and now has the scratch to invest in
one, so I want to make sure he is getting what he wants.
Any suggestions are welcome.
TIA
