Hey Canadamann,
Wow, if I had to chose between one of those scopes, this is what I would consider.
1. Celestron are reknown for making really nice optics.
2. The focal length of the Bosma is longer... therefor you will more than likely be up a lot closer to objects, but if you dont have access to clear skies, its not going to be great I wouldnt imagine.
3. It depends really on what you hope to see, if you want to see a couple of big planets and the moon, the celestron would do... if you want to see nome nebulas and clusters, you would be better with something bigger.

I really dont know the Bosma... I have 2 "cheaper" telescopes in my collection, and they both do exactly what they should do, so it might be fine... celestron really has the name though.
