are you only interested in visual? then the Dob would be the way to go - it is easier to find targets & will show more - check the classifieds here on this site or as in Sydney see either BIntel or AndrewsComm (bintel would be my recommendation -bit dearer but better service which is important if you're new)
If size is a big problem maybe a 4" refractor(long f/l, say f9 - not f5), it gathers less light but is smaller & f/l is longer meaning you can buy cheaper eyepieces (longer f/l show less eyepiece defects){i'm sure many here will say just get the dob}
I would go out to bintel & browse the store, get some advice then leave & think about it
