<div>Since I'm really a newb, I was wondering what I could get that will work just fine on more of a budget. Is LabNation worth a closer look? </div>

<div>If being cheap in the short will just cost me money in the long run, please advise. I'm just looking for a scope that will be reliable with modular kits. The more money I have to build kits with, the happier I am.</div>
