skywatcher or celestron!

I own both makes of those scopes but not the models

but for what its worth I dont think theres much to choose between on the
optics
but the celestron mount seemed slightly better.

I haven't tried the scopes you mention, but may I suggest an alternative?
Visit your local astroclub on a public night. You can look through a lot
of
different telescopes to see what you like and don't like for yourself ---
much of it is personal preference. And, you may find you can buy a much
better scope for the same amount of money, from someone who wants to
upgrade.
