I had an 8"SCT and 80mm ED set up one night and preferred the 80mm view until the SCT reached equilibrium. But even then the lack of contrast annoyed me. It was quickly sold.
Don't make my mistake and see if you can try the 120 first but don't let people talk you out of it. Many people are extremely happy with them.
