Thanks for the help guys, sounds like I'm at least headed in the right direction.

Ok... So I'll put the Novak back on the table as a possibility, the price is definately appealing. I just don't want to turn around after a couple months wanting more. Of course I know there will always be more... but I want to do what I can right the first time so I don't spend any more $$ than I have to.

So Right now is seems to be between the Novak Super Sport and an MGM 80 and a Feigao 540 8s (or if I'm feeling particularly thrifty, a Lehner basic 4200) - and a 6 to 8 cell set-up

Thanks for the link on gearing Tonka, it'll definately be useful when I start getting things set-up.
