Catadioptric scope/spotting??

I'm looking at purchasing a Catadioptric 65mm apeture and 835mm focal length - It is for my 8yr old for Christmas. Something that can be used to look @ wildlife but also to spark and interest in the heavens. I have spoken to Lee at Andrews communication (very helpful). He thinks a 70mm x 700mm refractor would be better however I like the portability of the little catadiopric scope. This type of scope is described as 'good for terrestrial and astronomical usage' - does anyone have experience with the Saxon or the brand Andrews communication bring in called North Star. Great site.
