I'll second the Celestron and throw a Meade in there as well. Prior to the development of the Maksutov-Cassegrain optical system, these scopes were horrendously expensive, but Maksutov-Cassegrain put top quality optics within reach of the average Joe.
They are much brighter than a conventional spotting scope and capable of greater magnifications while retaining sharpness. Since I got my Meade, I rarely ever use my Tasco any more.
There is one down side though. Most of these scopes tend to be a little more fragile than conventional spotters, but not so much that a little bump will affect them.
