Meade 90mm refractor question

Hi everyone!

I have the opportunity to buy a used Meade 90mm DS-2090 (Refractor) for $200 U.S. It's been discontinued, but was definitely an entry-level scope.

I would want it for planetary imaging using my webcam, etc.

I currently have a 6" Meade Reflector (FL 762 - f/5). The DS2090 is FL 800 - f/10.

In your opinions, would I get that much better planetary images from this refractor than I do with my reflector?

As always your insight is very much appreciated.
