Choosing a scope for imaging

Hi,
I have a 12" Dob which is GREAT for observing but not much good for imaging DSO's.

I'm thinking that rather than going for a Schmidt-Cassegrain, a more cost effective option (since I already have a largish aperture scope for visual use) might be a refractor on an iOptron mount.

My question is: am I thinking down the right track?
And if so: what apeture would I need to image DSO's (with say a meade DSI)?
