Another scope for AP

Hi
I have 2 scopes I love for AP, a TSA120+reducer corrector for wide field, and a great c11 with Starizona reducer /corrector for long focal length imaging.

Coming up to retirement in the not too distant future, and thinking about a scope of around 1200mm or so focal length for midfield imaging.

Wondering what people are using at this fl, or what you would suggest. Would love a TOA150 but at current exchange rates I'd have to sell a kidney!! Perhaps 5k as a top price....

cheers
Gary

A 10" f5 imaging newt (1250mm fl), with a Baader MPCC suits me just fine

Or maybe a SW Esprit 150, focal length 1050mm, maybe just a little over budget
