Outreach was on my list of considerations, as well, Mike. This is a pretty good, general purpose scope, and it has a certain presence that catches the attention of non-astronomers (meaning it's pretty big). After that, I'd probably have a 3" to 5" apo and something in the middle to large SCT line set up. That way the differences between the 3 major types of telescope could be illustrated.
