I would say a resounding no, the refractor will definately be a big step backwards.

- You are losing 2.5" of aperture, and aperture is important
- The refractor will be an achromat, with chromatic abberation, especially at the long focal lengths and high resolution that you will need to work at. Reflectors have no chromatic abberation.
