buying choice - 2 to pick from - meade etx105 or nexstar 4se

HI - in the throes of choosing a first telescope to use for fun and to introduce my daughter to astronomy - have found 2 good used scopes - a Meade ETX105PE - and a Celestron Nexstar 4se - the Meade asking price is a couple hundred more than the Celestron -- but I gather the meade is easier to use as a land based scope or camera lens if desired -- any advice? Both seem Ok and both have the 'GoTo' functions that'd be good to have.
