I used a 6_inch reflector almost exclusively.
The only reason I am going to 8 inch is because the 6 inch needs resurfacing.
I did use my 12 inch a few times but unguided because I felt I was pushing the weight aspect and tried without a guide scope.
It was about that time I stopped posting images and decided just to do stuff without seeking others views.
I am very tempted to go with a small high quality refractor but I can be happy with less than perfect.
A six inch is very cheap but enables you to have more cash and you never know you may need more cash.
Whatever you get regard it as a personal challenge.
Getting the best you can from the gear you use I found satisfying.
Captures are only part of the game as you may know.
Good luck.
