Just my 2 cents worth here mate, and welcome. I went to big to fast with a 10 inch newt as a dobsonian then converted it to fit an eq6 mount. Whilst i still have it i have downgraded to a Skywatcher ED80 scope on the same Neq6pro mount.
I am getting 10000% more fun out of the ed80 whilst i learn, it was a cheaper scope, is more Grab - N - Go so i actually get out on work nights more often for 3 - 4 hours and is generally easier to setup and use.
Ed80's come up regularly and are fairly cost effective allowing you to spend more on a mount that wont need upgrading.
good luck on future purchases.
