Future setup

Hi all

I have set aside 25K to build a backyard observatory and all the equipment.
I currently have a GSO 6" RC with guide scope on an HEQ5 and a DSLR. Also, have a TAK scope. So going with an upgrade.

What do you think of the gear?

Skywatcher EQ8
GSO 12" RC, if money is left over I could go with a GSO 14" RC.
Moonlight Focuser
Moravian Inst G4-9000 with 7 50mm square filter wheel. Can get a 9 50mm round filters for the same price but don't know what is better; square or round.
Astrodon LRGB, Baadar Ha 3.5nm and Baadar clear filter.
Don't know if I need a field flattener?
Is there anything I forgot to add?

Sequence Generator Pro with mosaic addon for camera control.
