Mark,
before you spend one brass razoo go to an Astro Camp/event.
There you will be able to see what other imagers are using, what the results are like, what they think of their equipment, ask them what they would do differently, etc etc.
$10,000 is a hell of a lot of money to spend without doing some 'practical' research too.
You can read about imaging setups on the net until the cows come home, but until you see the gear in action, compared to other gear, all on the one field, you really are going in blind.
Spend time at an Astro camp, ask questions, see the gear working, listening to the grumbles not just the praises from the owners
(if you walk around at night at a camp you will hear them going off at their gear).
