First time telescope

I’m getting my teenage son his first telescope, and my biggest concern is that it’s easy for him to find objects in the sky. He’s only interested in observing, not photography. I’m considering the NexStar SE6, with the idea of upgrading to a larger Dobsonian if he enjoys the hobby. Alternatively, I’m also looking at the Evolution 8 with no plans to buy another telescope in the future. What would you recommend?
