The best views that I have ever had of mars were through my meade ETX90, a little 3.5" maksutov. Granted that may also be because 15-18 years ago when I made these observations that was the only scope I had, and in the time since when I have obtained larger and better glass mars has not been as good to observe in terms of angular size etc.
If you are looking at the price range of the skywatcher 100mm x1000FL scope, I would instead suggest the skywatcher 4" or 5" (mak tube) star explorer series in the same price range. I know most members will say "aperture aprerture aperture" and pound that message in, but as a newbie into astronomy there was so much benefit to me in having a computerised starter scope that I could set to do a tour fucnction and being able to observe 20 different objects in an hour without having to mess around trying to find them with star charts etc. It will also track the object.
