Each requires different focal lengths.

Added to this, you will want a flat field which is coma free(well not initially but after a couple of months you will), so you need to figure a coma corrector and flattener into the purchase of a newtonian if you go this way. Or you could simply buy a telescope that has this already figures.

The budget certainly limits what you can buy. Either go for refractor (spend a bit more) or something you can correct later.

i have a Baader MPCC, so thats coma covered.
