Well man, you gotta do what you gotta do... but all I can say is that I hated my guidescope, replaced it almost immediately with an RDF, and then never had any major problem finding anything again.
Having said that, I'd totally recommend a bigger aperture! 8" is good - targets will appear nearly twice as bright as your 6". Of if you're going all out, a 10" is closer to triple the light gathering, with an extra bit of magnification too.
I still say you need a red dot finder. Regardless of your scope size and whether it's automated or not, get one and make your life vastly easier. It really is impossible to overstate how much easier they are to use than a guidescope.
