It's your call on whether you want a scope or a camera the most
I have been playing around with ZWO cameras and lenses and it is a lot of fun but some tweaking is needed to get good results.

The two that I got are the ASI294 and ASI1600 because I want to do colour and lum/narrowband at the same time. If I had to pick just one it would be the ASI1600 as mono is more versatile.
IMO the ASI174 is just too small for deep sky work and the ASI183 pixels are too small if you want fast results (small pixels collect fewer photons and it will take a lot more integration time to get the low noise result that you want.)
