Hi Patrick,
Welcome to the forum.
My advise:
Get yourself to an observing night run by your local Astronomical Society and see the difference between the different size reflectors and then compare them to the views from a small refractor.
I had a 5" reflector on an EQ mount on loan to me a couple of years back.
It only took 3 months to realise that I needed a bigger scope.
The resale value on the smaller reflectors is not very good, that is if you can find a buyer for it.
