If it were me I'd probably get the star ax, it will at least provide ok planet views, the 114 short tube is mostly a widefield instrument & can be a pain to get collimated right.
The sky scanner at f4 will also be a pain to colimate
A pair of 10x50 binos will come,ent the narrow field of view of the mak cass.
Another option is the skywatcher heritage 130, a bit more aperture-the geographic shop sometimes has specials on their scopes, can also be bought from ozscopes or ebay
