Starting with short focal lengths makes it easier to learn imaging. My Astro Shop has the ED80 OTA on special atm for $500; you could put that on a AZ-EQ6 now and add a larger scope later on if you stay interested in imaging.
The AZ-EQ6 can be used for imaging with a bigger scope or in alt/az mode for visual if you decide imaging isn't for you, so the mount will be very useful regardless of how your interests develop.
