Hi. You should give Ktec Telescopes a call. They're very helpful.

My own advice is that Generally speaking, bigger is better in terms of the main mirror diameter. Once you start you’ll always want a bigger mirror. So buy as big as your budget will allow. It’s the difference between looking at a standard definition 55 inch tv, versus 1080 HD versus 4K UHD. Images are crisper and will show more detail (not necessarily bigger) with a larger mirror because more light is being gathered.

That’s very generally speaking though.
