The Skywatcher AzEq6 would be the obvious choice and just fits your budget but if your thinking a lighter payload capacity the AzEQ5 is available. Eithrr can sit on a pier if required. My NEQ6 sits on a pier mostly and you can still use the tripod for field use.
As someone who has visual problems I can suggest that imaging can be very rewarding and keep you involved. If your going to eventually wind up imaging the NEQ6pro might be a better choice for a mount and save a little money up front.
