Thanks for your comments.
The f8 reflector is in the process of being reincarnated (again) and will get used. The f5 truss tube is a bit too heavy to lug around these days and I'd like to have the option of an equatorial mount with tracking. I'll probably sell it.
I suppose I'm trying to tick several boxes with the refractor. I want exploit the qualities of a long focal length scope on planets and the moon and also be able to look at some of the brighter DSOs. Cost is also a consideration otherwise I'd just go out and buy a 6" apo
