I would probably then recommend a goto dobsonian - anything from 10" and upwards (depending on your space and how easily you can move it around) and spend money on better lenses.

The longer FL on the CPC makes it more geared to planets, while I consider a Newtonian of large aperture a good all rounder due to the mid focal length and large aperture to use on planets and deep sky objects.
