Paul, the 12" dob is a big and heavy, difficult to set up. It has killa views of deep sky objects.
I find the 150mm refractor much easier to transport and set up. The wide field views with a 30- 40mm wide angle eye piece gives me super contrast and pin point stars.The planerary views are very contrasty albeit with some violet fringes.
I will be able to do some deep sky imaging with the refractor but not the dob.
It's horses for courses and I guess thats why I have both.
Also remember the dob takes quite a while to cool to give it's best performance and is more affected by atmospheric conditions.
