If you were a beginner would you know the range of options for configurations of a "dob"?
As for who needs a Dobsonian reflector telescope, typically 6 to 10 inches but often more, mounted in an easy wooden "lazy Susan" type left-right up-down combination swivel that provides a very large field of view at a low price, in a device sometimes the size of a water heater and weighing 50 lbs (23 kg), we have seen beginners come here who bought one of those huge beasts and their first post is "I can't see anything." I know that tabletop Dobsonians have become popular. They are a good recommendation. If you were a beginner would you know the range of options for configurations of a "dob"?
