Default Advice please : Celestron Nexstar SLT 102 vs Celestron Nexstar 4 SE

Hello all,
I am interested in getting a telescope mainly looking at the planets &
galaxies. I'm not really interested in astrophotography at the moment
but I guess this may come in the future.

The above 2 scopes are in my price range & was hoping somebody on here
with more technical knowlege of scopes etc could advise me what they
would consider the best buy.

The magnification of the Nexstar 4 SE using a 25mm eyepiece is given
as 53x whereas the SLT 102 has 26.4x.
Is this all a newbie astronomer, who just wants to take it out into
his back garden & have a browse around the sky, should be interested
in. Both scopes are obviously computer controlled which makes my life
easier when trying to find things.

The Nexstar 4 SE is quite a new scope, I believe, so if anybody
actually has one & could provide their comments that would be great.

Thanks in advance,
Dave
