Hi Chantal,
Welcome to IceInSpace
Good on you for wanting to buy a telescope for your family.
And good on you for doing some good research beforehand.
Firstly, are you aware that the Heritage is described as a tabletop scope?
Obviously a small stable table is required to comfortably view the skies.
Personally, I have never found a setup that I considered acceptable when trying to use a tabletop scope.
Having said that, I have heard good reports about the Heritage 130.
Portable, and good quality. And that does seem like a good price.
The other scope does look reasonable, but you will see more with the DOB so I might be tempted to go that way. Generally, the bigger the aperture, the more detail you can see.
As you are so close, I would be happy to discuss your options further if you like, and you and hubby are welcome to come over for a cuppa and have a look through my scopes if you like to drop me a PM.
