The old 'Horses for courses' comes to mind....
I still find the 120-130mm refractors to be the perfect tool for the brighter planets and the moon......
but we recently viewed 47Tuc in 100, 120, 150, 300 and 457 mm scopes and there is no question about it, aperture rules on globular and nebular objects....
resolving the core of Tuc and seeing the different coloured stars therein was magical in the M300 and K457...
even managed a clear 567x on Tuc and Tarantula !!!
