At $85 the risk is small, and while I don't know anything about this particular model the older Tasco reflectors have been known to be decent performers.
If you ditch the EQ mount (which will add nothing but frustration) the tube might work well in a small portable Dobbie you could build around it – a rewarding and not too difficult project to undertake, if you're so inclined.
The Cassini division can be seen rather easily in 80mm achromatic scopes if the conditions are right (i.e. this year, and reasonable seeing), the 114mm reflector should be able to show it without much difficulty.
Cheers
Steffen.
