I've got an AZ3 mount and I'm not really fond of it. The refractor would be useful at low power, though you'd need a yellow/green filter on high power eyepieces to get reasonable views of the planets.
The 6" equatorial reflector would be better and easier to use in my opinion, though if photography is unlikely to be a big thing for you, and 8" dob would be better yet.
Regards,
Renato
