Normally I'm a reflector sort of bloke but in this case I think I agree about the refractor. I've never been a fan of newts <15cm and the tiny eq mounts I've seen them on are pretty substandard. However, my experience is based on scopes I used decades ago and perhaps mounts have improved. Even if they have I'd still lean to the frac.
