Wow, thanks all for the feedback.
I definitely considered the option of going 6" or 8", especially the 6" in the classifieds, however the drawback for me is the increase in size.
I've bitten the bullet and picked up the 5" Saxon for my son. I think it will be a good entry point and we can move it around easily enough.
If either him or myself take to it I'm happy to upgrade down the line, when I'll have a clearer idea of what would suit us best.
Right now I'm looking forward to giving him the scope and spending some time not only looking into the sky, but also using the scope as an opportunity to learn and teach him (and myself) about the moon and stars.
