Maybe Mr. Google will help you decide as well if it is what you are after. I've never used a Schmidt Cassagrain telescope so maybe someone else could chime in with more advice

My first decent telescope was a Meade LX 90 8 inch Schmidt Cassegrain.
It is fantastic for viewing the planets and brighter objects. Not great for imaging though.
I think it would last a long time. I had mine for about 2 years.
