I researched the best telescopes for the past few days because I want to get into astronomy and enjoy viewing the moon, planets, and other night sky objects from home. I read reviews on Sky & Telescope and Astronomy Magazine, and they are marking these two as among the best options:
Celestron StarSense Explorer LT 114AZ

Telescope for Adults High Powered

However, I am having trouble deciding which one would best suit my needs and need your expert advice. I want a telescope that provides clear views, is easy to set up, and offers good value for the money. I am mainly interested in observing the Moon, planets, star clusters, and some deep-sky objects, and I would like something suitable for long-term use as I gain experience.
So which one should I buy? Any recommendation will be appreciated. Thanks in advance.
