I would be very careful about ordering a goto scope in this price range. Are the software and mount accurate enough for you to really find 1400 objects? Try before you buy, or at least make sure you can get a full refund if you're not happy.

Dobsonians have fewer bells and whistles, but in my opinion that's no bad thing. If you have a $200 budget, it's better to have a simple thing which does its job well than a complex thing which doesn't. Remember that every dollar you're spending on electronics is not being spent on optics.
