Hi Wombat
to the community, Glad to see a new member joining.. Dont know much about the two telescope in question you have but did some research,
I think its really preference in what you like..
TheSkywatcher 6" Reflector EQ3, is an excellent scope and the mount can be made to be a goto mount so meaning it can be motorised, giving it an eq3, better mount than the other scope in question..
here is a link on the scope info:

OK as for the Skywatcher 120mmx600mm Refractor AZ3 SW120, its a achromatic scope its ok for observing, but its also got to do with what you want to use it for..
There are 2 types of scopes... Achromatic and Apochromatic.. Two differences and it can be a see when you image DSO (deep sky objects) Its got to do with the glass..

This should help you with knowledge of the differences.. Plus it can be a difference in price aswell ranging from a few $100s to a few $1000s
Again it depends on what you want to use it for...
I hope it helps there are plenty of information out there about the two types, Youtube, Google, or your local astronomy shop (if you have one near by).
Well i tried to explain it and hope i have helped a little bit to getting you towards your goal..hehe
