Just be aware that the EQ6 isn't exactly grab and go

There was another thread about this recently, but the ZS71 would give you a FOV about 3.7 x 2.5 degrees, so it's more of a wide field option. Any SCT is going to be the other end of the scale because of the longer focal lengths.

I mention this because it's important to consider your list of targets as many will be framed "better" by a scope with a little longer focal lengths, And of course, there are scopes with focal lengths inbetween that can cover this.

What kind of object are you most interested in imaging?
