G'day Guest,
I am a fan of both refractors and reflectors they both have their pro's and cons.
REFRACTOR, these are more expensive than reflectors but a lot cheaper than they were 10 years ago. The main advantage is Contrast and as I do mainly deep sky it is an important advantage. The star images are crisp and sharp and nebulae look fantastic. Refractors also cool down quicker than reflectors and are great for double stars. My scope is an achromat so I produces some false colour, But the false colour is only noticeable on very bright stars and planets and I dont find it annoying at all and hardly even notice it, and the false colour is absent on deep sky objects.
REFLECTORS, particually on Dob mounts are nowadays cheap as chips so if you want the largest possible aperture this is the scope for you. A 300mm Dob will cost as much as a 120mm refractor for a comparison.
