And an f/5 won't really inhibit your imaging.
Plus, the f/4 scope has a very large secondary, optimized for imaging, not visual.
Just be sure to get an adequate mount for the reflector. It will require a larger and more heavy duty mount than the 100mm refractor.
Even if the weight is similar, the "wind sail" factor means the mount has to be a real rock or needs to be in an observatory that shields the scope from wind.

Thanks Don
I’m using a EQ6 R presently. Will that mount work in your opinion?
Thanks
