Which Dobsonian (130 vs 150mm)

[marsh nova]

I'm looking at the following options for my first telescope and I would be very grateful to get some opinions from anybody more experienced about the telescopes I'm considering and the differences between them.

I intend to travel with the telescope outside the city and I'll use it only for visual observations (no astro photograhpy).

The Skywatcher 130mm seems like a really good deal considering the price difference compared to the other options (and it's not that much money if i eventually decide this hobby is not for me).

For an extra 136 eur I can get the 150mm version, but is it worth it? will I notice a significant difference ?
If yes should I go with the Bresser model to get a better focuser (better design and it's 2 inch) and avoid the additional hassle of the open tube?

Yes the 150p is worth the extra money. You will notice a huge difference.

That’s good to know, thank you

100% go for the bigger one, more light really makes a diffrence

Any advice about the 1.25 vs the 2 inch focuser ?

[sweet tusk]

I can mostly get by with a 1.25" but 2" is way more versatile, you can get coma correctors, 2" eyepices, alot more.

If you need it to shrink down small when you don’t use it, go for the Heritage 150p. Otherwise go for the solid tube Bresser, especially if you want to try astrophotography.

All 3 scopes are good though, it’s a question of budget and how much space you have.
