The EQ6R will have no issues handling a 80-100mm refractor so you're all set there! If you're after the best you can buy for $2k it might be worth considering a second hand scope. Most owners take good care of their equipment, particularly with pricey scopes. You could get a fairly decent 80-100mm triplet for that price range - maybe chuck up a wanted ad in the classifieds and see what's around?
