I think the az eq6/5 mounts are excellent.
I don’t think you need to choose to be visual or image, I happily try do both to my level of satisfaction.
I also don’t think you need to spend $30k or give up on imaging. I’ve see many posts on this forum, cloudy nights and astrobin with very modest equipment. A lot of it comes down to the art and skill of the imager.
I also dont understand the comment about other people’s pockets....it’s not a competition.
The main purpose of this hobby is to enjoy its travails. Visually I couldn’t see half the things I can now 2 years ago, with the same equipment.
Good luck with your upgrade decision.
