no worries the mak's and sct are good for planetary viewing and some planetary imaging not so good on deep sky - esp deep sky photography.
Personally I'd really be recommending an 8 or 10" newt as you get good resolution but you're anti newt so with the budget you've listed it really only leaves an ed80 or 100.
Or if you could stretch your budget a bit the maksutov-newtonian might be more what you are after.
