What do you hope to look at?
Moving down from the 12 inch will disappoint on DSO (in my opinion)...Planets, Moon, Double Stars will hold up fine with a refractor.
The Skywather ED scopes (I've got an 80 mm) are good value. I mount mine on the Alt/Az mount available at Bintel (likely available other places too).
Depending on focal length, you may also need some additional eyepieces to get the magnification that you will want in the new scope.
