"I cannot decide............I do have a 5" refractor telescope but i'm kinda past it looking out into space with one eye and budget is another issue".
The other option is too invest in a Binoviewer for your 5 in. refractor. I use a Stellarvue B.V. with my Equinox ED120 almost all the time.
I much prefer 2x eyed viewing - it is far more relaxing and the 'psuedo 3D' effect is visually far more stimulating and satisfying. I can view for hours with no eyestrain. Any light loss is overshadowed by the fact that I 'see' more detail esp on. planets and the moon.
There are negatives - increase cost [doubling your EPs,], you will not get a seriously wide F.O.V. and the weight gain, but still for me these are minor 'cons' considering the viewing pleasure that it gives.
Just some thoughts.
