Decision time: OAG or GS

Good Evening,
I want to push the capabilities of my setup a bit further. Guiding is on the cards.
I have my doubts about OAG with a 9.25 SCT. Especially having the standard tube and not the HD (flatter field). Guiding scope seems a better option.
Cheaper too because I already own an ORION 80mm short tube scope (FL400/F5) with CG-5 bracket.
The other thing on my mind is downsizing the scope. My NexStar is for sale.
So I have to get a new tube for my CGX. I thought to step up to the Celestron 9.25HD but after reading a lot about AP I might go for a smaller refractor like the SW Esprit 100 or 120
I am sort of torn between two ideas.
May start with a cheap ASI120 to see how it all works.
Any guidance?
