Henri, I have an SCT, two refractors and use a Newtonian and enjoy using each of them. For portability and maximum magnification with good light gathering, then an SCT appeals to me. For widefield, stupendous viewing I like the shorter focal length newt, but they can hold their own for planetary viewing.
I'm definately leaning towards a Dob to get started, simply for bang for the buck and simplicity to get started. But having said that I've never owned a dob (though I do get to use one regularly).
Definately try to get to another viewing night.
