You also might want to consider this by Astro Physics:

Reasonably priced and certainly does a fine job. I took these images of M83 and M16 using this product and my TEC140:

As for the Televue products I've usually just seen these used for planetary photography. For DS targets you might be better off with a specialised product. For DS targets I can't imagine you would want to use a 4x barlow. Once you push your scope to near f14 you will pay a big price both in guiding difficulties and image capture times. 1.5-1.8 seems a quite decent range to operate in.
