l have a couple of refractors as well as the almighty LX200, aperture will rule on everything you view because it is the light gathering capacity of a scope that gives it it's power of course combined with it's focal length.
Top end 4" refractors will cost more than a big dob because of better optics and truly top end scopes will cost more than my LX200 for that matter.
At the moment the Orion ED80 and ED100mm refractors are the best value for money small scopes you can buy, a lot of guys on the forum use them as secondary and guide scopes on their SCT's the small Skywatcher type scopes are cheap but do suffer a few problems.
