Purchasing Question

Hello Fellow Planet Friends, i have a Question about what Telescope i should get.

I've been looking forward to getting a new Telescope for a long time, since im stuck with the Bresser Optik 66113. A 76/700 Telescope wich is pretty cheap (around 100 Euros), wobbly and instable. And since im looking forward to getting a new Telescope, im left with 2 Options. Either the Skywatcher Explorer 130/900 EQ2, or the Skywatcher Heritage 130P. Both of these are really good, but i dont know what to get. The Heritage is not Available on any Websites i want to use to Order it, and it costs almost 300 CHF (comparable to USD and Euros). However the Explorer is much cheaper (around 230 CHF), has a Tripod and is not as Complicated to use as the Heritage, since you need a tabletop for it.

My final question is, wich one to get? get the Explorer for way easier and Cheaper, or give in Effort wich is worth to use to get the Heritage. Thank you for Helping.
