The other very obvious difference between the SCT and the newtonian is the problem of fogging. The large corrector plate is much more prone to fogging. This is fairly easily dealt with with heaters etc but it is one more thing to worry about.
Having said that my scope (VC200l) is a compromise between the two. A cassegrain with an open tube. It is however much smaller.
