No. Not unless (as mentioned above) you really hate diffraction spikes on photos. They won't bother you with visual use.

The big reflector is much better bang for your $$$ both for visual use and photo use, as long as you don't mind a collimation adjustment every now and then. Refractors are pretty much maintenance free.
