Of course, everything that Eric did is spot on.
Yes, the 102 will gather a little less light, but it's still a decent scope, especially if you've got a decent place to view from.
Reflectors also have a central obstruction that reduces the amount of light they catch over a refractor of the same size (but they are almost always bigger)
