Hi, you would only want to use Refs when you need to update at least two of them with transaction semantics.
When you need to read only one of them, you can just deref them any time you want, if you need a consistent snapshot of two refs, you need to read them inside a transaction, i.e. inside dosync. For an example of the difference search for ";; replace with do for errors" on http://skamphausen.de/clojure-workshop-sourcetalk2012/prj/workshop.trade/src/workshop/trade/core.clj (if I may be so bold to link to my own humble experiments with the STM).
