Different telescopes for different uses. I suspect you would have a hard time splitting the tiny companion star from Antares with the big dob.
Who is to say that that particular view is a lesser view than seeing a tiny smudge of a galaxy in the big dob, which would have been invisible in the refractor?
And it is extremely nice seeing pin point star images in big clusters with the refractor.
That said, I only ever took my 4" f/9 APO to a dark sky site once, felt like you did, and it bacame a backyard telescope.
