A 12.7cm f/5 refractor can be good even when it is an ordinary achro. But size/weight/price are well beaten by a Dobson of twice the aperture.
Where are you going to use it for ?
Always do a star test (or viewing a ISO-12233 chart) at maximum power (250x in this case) before pulling your credit or debit card.
