I'd be inclined to go with the refractor, although nowadays most of my observing is done with (larger) reflectors. My little 60mm x 1000 and 10 x 50 binos served me well for many years and was much easier to use. The tripod mount is something that lets a lot of these scopes down. A good test is have a look through it in the shop and give the tube a light tap and see how long it takes to settle down, any more than 5 secs and its too wobbly. Finances kept me from getting something bigger and better for many years, but the old 60mm gave me heaps of pleasant nights under the stars as the mount was rock solid.
Cheers
Bill
