Assuming the scope is well collimated, then you will in theory be able to get very very good views of the planets - Keep in mind that at high magnification, you will need some sort of tracking system, otherwise the object will fly out of the edge of the eyepiece.

I would definitely recommend going to a star party to check out the variety of scopes available, and how they work in practice. Each design has its strengths and weaknesses, and one persons strength is another's weakness
