The only times I have seen planetary images as good (and better) as in my 130mm Apo is through longer focus high quality Newtonians, (10" F6, 8" F7) At these times the Newts had had plenty of time to settle in temperature and the seeing was excellent.
In average conditions and straight out the box, the refractor blows all comers away.
Also I have never seen a 8" SCT that could better the 130 on any object, deep sky or otherwise.
