Another vote for the Rigel.

Telrads are heavier and along with the weight of the optical finder it may cause your scope to nosedive. Those living in rural skies can dispense with the optical and run with a telrad alone, but with suburban light polution you will want to keep it.

Another thing in favour of the rigel is that it comes with a spare base to fit a smaller diameter tube like a refractor. Try mounting a telrad on a small refractor
