Need a larger Scope? For me at least it worked the other way round. I found out that I better liked to watch large fields like 8 or more degrees with low magnification. That's why I nowadays mostly observe through binoculars. Sometimes I'm itching to "go into detail" with my 10" Dob, but I find it so much more pleasing to view a globular cluster floating in sky among clouds of stars...
Most of Messiers objects can be viewed with a 10x50 binocular. Numbers 46 to 100+ can be pretty hard (Messier used a larger telescope then), but most of them "work" with binoculars too.

P.S. That's my first post in the CN forum. Hope, there are some "binoculists" here, too.
