yep 4m FL is huge, i'm not against spending a lot on a first or second telescope. it can be more efficient that way than taking intermediate steps.

maybe consider an eq8 with a 12" f/5 newt on top. still got the aperture for planetary details but much more forgiving on guiding with a shorter FL (1.5m), you can do planetary imaging by adding a 5x powermate.
