Well, if those numbers refer to the mirror size, yea, kinda. Not much difference but always go for the biggest aperture if you can.

Hi Bugswisher,

the fact that both these scopes are mounted on the same cg-4 eq mount makes the comparison somewhat easier.

The 150 being a reflector will need slightly more upkeep, ie it will need collimating every so often. (not a major task)

What are your interests in astronomy? The 150 will be better for deep sky objects, the 120 will permit higher magnifications for the moon & planets.

The 120 will be easier to transport to dark sites.

My personal preferance would be for the 120, but I like refractors!
