A properly set up, cooled and collimated 8 inch gso dob should wipe the floor with any 4 inch refractor on planetary detail.
So much of this refractor vs reflector myth comes from the old days where good newt mirrors where rare and very expensive and the old conclusions get regurgitated so often as to be beleived as irrefutable fact. The other problem is that a lot of newt owners dont bother to check their collimation.
