not that it matters when looking at an astronomical object!

Definitely go with the dob. it is so much easier to use than an eq mount. the time taken to set the eq mount up, you would have already collimated the dob. and be enjoying the great views. you will be disapointed with the refractor and end up buying a dob down the track, if your interest in astronomy hasn't waned from the experience ....
