The Orion 3" reflector was out of stock, but the slightly pricier Orion 70mm refractor just squeaks under the budget and was able to get spouse approval, so that's the one I ordered. A nicer, "family" telescope might be a good option in the future if any of our kids pick up on it, but right now besides budget, my wife is convinced that a delicate instrument like a telescope won't last long around our 3 kids (age 9 & under). Thanks Charlie, Ronn & Bruce for your help/advice! -Bryon
