I hesitated to offer a look through the Televue because it's not particularly relevant to prova's problem - is the 100ED worth getting. But since no-one else local replied I did. I don't have an opinion as to whether refractors or reflectors are better - they are just different. Size and quality matter more and quality can make up for size to a certain extent (but only to a certain extent). Dark skies can also compensate for size. I do enjoy looking through premium newtonians both large and small (the Canberra club has a 6 inch tak newtonian). Unfortunately not everyone can afford or wants to spend the money or has the skills to build a premium newtonian.
