If I were you, living in dark sky heaven, I'd go for aperture. As you want to do photography then - if it was going to be a big thing for you - my suggestion would be an SCT, either 8, 9.25, 10 or 11".
Alternatively, get your Mak. It won't be long before you get a big dob - even if you only use it after showers or rain that clean up the dust in the air.
Regards,
Renato
