I'm not an expert, just an user, and have the Bresser Spica 130/1000 myself. I use it roughly once a month and it works great, but it could have bean any other telescope.

The advice I would like to give you is to start your journey with the question, what do you want to do with the telescope?

- Look at stars planets etc.. - Buy a Reflector based telescope

- Also want to look at animals - Buy a Refractor based telescope

- Do you want to make it a new hobby and take it with you to friends - Buy a Compound based telescope

- Already in photography - Buy a telescope with a camera mount NO phone mounts

- More interested in the journey of making things and testing it - buy a telescope kit

- Do you have more then 400 dollars to spend - buy a cheap one first and then buy a good one with the money that is left after a few months.

I hope that will help you with your journey.
