Hi Kana,
I thought you had your heart set on an Orion 10" goto dob I sold you on???
Seems you are looking for something in the $1500-$2000 range for AP and visual, well then, my scope combo of HEQ5 Pro and 8" BD200N newtonian reflector has taken a few nice images in the past with a DSLR and the Atik 314L+ CCD camera.
You can pick up a similar rig with a Bintel F4 imaging newt 8" for around $1500 ish and considering the 8" is what I use in Light Polluted Sydney, I don't have too many issues picking up faint fuzzies as well as small nebula and galaxies, so your relatively darker skies should kill it.
I did an advanced search on my name as the "posts started by user" in Beginner's AP and Deep Space and it shows some (if not all) of the posted images I have taken over the years with my scope and mount.
I hope it works (the link below) and I know it is not an ED100 or ED120, but the 8" is bang for your buck if you want the best of both worlds, without too much money leaving the wallet.
See if this link brings up images and take a look if you would like.
