This is going for 319.95 on the Celestron website and on Amazon, and from the past few months I have been checking, this price was locked. Walmart seems to be running a huge markdown for Black Friday.
From my research, this is a very solid beginner telescope, and I just made the purchase.

Tried to use to look at those planes that is releasing the trail of smoke but useless because finding it is impossible on moving objects.
Don't even think about using the phone to take pictures!
Moon is supercool to look at when full (bright) and equally cool when it's just a little crescent (shadows really make the craters stand out).
Jupiter will most likely look like a bright white dot, but you make get a hint of color if you find a really dark area.
Celestron NexStar 6SE and 8SE with electronic star tracking would be the next telescope I would look at it you want more detail.
And agreed... I own the 102AZ as well as slower refractor (got them cheap used).
The slower (longer) refractors are really only good for the Moon and Jupiter/Saturn. As there will be less (albeit still some) chromatic aberration with the slower scopes.
But that's it... otherwise the narrower field of view isn't a plus. And the ergonomics are terrible, as you say. Only reason I have a slower scope is because I got it dirt cheap on CL.... and am actually trying to sell it now.
For this 90AZ scope, I also notice no slow motion controls. That's a huge deal.
So I'd say go for the 102AZ at $200 or an Astronomer's without Borders at $250.
Jupiter will most likely look like a bright white dot, but you make get a hint of color if you find a really dark area.
Just so folks know, even in a suburban light polluted area (with clear skies otherwise) and using decent magnification (say a 9-12mm eyepiece), one should see a couple of bands on Jupiter and several of its largest moons.
You should also see the rings of Saturn just fine, along with the Cassini Division.
Now neither will be huge, but they won't be just white dots (unless using very minimal magnification).
