I think the take home message here is that small refractors cannot be beat for wide field views and as a grab and go scope. However if you are only going to have one scope, they may not be the best (unless you get an ED or a long focal length refractor). Someone once mentioned to me that for serious planetary observations, you need a scope 4" and larger.
