I can compare a 10" reflector (solid tube) to a 9.25" SCT...
The SCT is much easier to transport, move around, store, etc...
Visually there isn't a big difference. I had my 10" in the country and I have my SCT in town, so it is hard to give a very accurate comparison.
The SCT takes much longer to cool!!
I prefer my SCT, but if I had a permanent site I would probably have a huge reflector. But in terms of moving around, I take the SCT.
I know its not the size you were asking, but it might help...
