Go to Leederville cameras, and see what they have available. They seem to have some Meade models available, LX90 10 inch seems worth looking at, but knowing Meades situation ATM, it might be difficult to get warranty/things fixed, OR

Leave it for a few months, and wait and see if things improve with Covid/Deliveries etc.

Nothing like reality to change your choices!
I see you are still looking at a combined scope mount like a CPC. As many people have already said this is not beginner appropriate for deepsky, though fine for planetary. For deepsky you will need to add a wedge and then deal with all the difficulties this entails.
