If you're just starting off I'd keep away from the GSO RC, visually it probably won't be too fantastic (large central obstruction) and collimation for the uninitiated can be a nightmare.

The 80x400 refractor is likely to have a few colour issues, especially if you want the dabble in astrophotography.

The HEQ5 Pro is a great mount to start with however. Putting a refractor on that or maybe a 8" F/5 newt would work well.
