I would like to start with a 12" bino scope. That will be enough for a first 
try and I really would like to use a powerfull wide field scope with two 
eye... I can't imagine a journey in the milkiway with a good bino scope !
For a 32" bino, I'm afraid it will be possible only if the budget is good :) 
and the tools available. I have notice that the jump fro 22" to 32" is quite 
big for collimation truss and other ...details... :) but yes, that's an 
ultimate dream ! Beyond that, for example mirror bigger than 40" for mono 
scope, the field begin to be quite tiny and that's a shame for large mirror 
not to have good view of M42 or other large objects..

Have a good day,
