Hi and welcome SC
Couple of questions first, are you specifically after a refractor, have you thought about any other type of scope at all. What is your aim, are you interested in photography? Reason I ask is any recommendation would be based on what you intend to do.
The 100mm refractor would be good if you intend to get into digital photograhy, I use mine for that, if you are just into looking, might I suggest the possibility of an 8" or 10" dob mount. You are going to get a much brighter view with the larger instrument, the larger the lens or mirror, the brighter the view.
