Hi Aaron,
From my perspective it is not clear just what you want to use this scope for. You are going to find the range of targets and what you can see severely restricted compared to your existing scope.
My suggestion would be to wait patiently for a good set of Astro binoculars in the 60-70mm range to come up for sale here. I think they are likely to allow you to see more and get used more then either of the refractors you are considering.
So, first step think through the range of observing you wish to do and then see what equipment gaps you have. Don't fall into the trap of thinking you have to buy a telescope simply because you have some idle money wanting to be spent. For example a good adjustable observing chair might be your next best purchase. It will allow you to see much more with your existing scope as was my experience. Similarly a good freezer suit might be the next best purchase.
Good luck
Steve
