You'll need to factor in a good coma corrector, e.g. baader mpcc. I don't know about F5 v f4. But I'd love to try an f4 sometime.
Newts are a great price compared to refractors. Especially second hand. Collimating is no biggie. And I also like the diffraction spikes.

I'm now thinking of a 6" due to weight, which in turn means more funds for stuff like coma corrector, guide scope etc.
