Same price-5.5" vs. 6".

Posted By Paulo martin

Hello,
I am again!Decission..Decission..

For the same price(aprox.)I have a 5.5" OMC-140 F/14 of Orion Optics in UK standard version, Gregory variant, and a 6" F/15 standard version Intes Micro Rumak desing, the two without fan cooling. In this case 6" is best ?

Thanks,
