Hi Jason,
My advice would be you get a 10"+ SCT or quality reflector. This will give you more light to play with and higher frames per second when you image.
With Jupiter in particular you need more light to shorten captures as the planet rotates very quickly. 60 to 90 seconds imaging per channel max.
The Celestron SCT's seem to have a good reputation or a custom made newtonian with good optics will give you years of satisfaction.
Don't stress too much as well with mount quality if you need to get a new mount. The current software allows perfect tracking for planetary imaging.
Next year will be a great year for planetary imaging in OZ.
Clear skies.
John K.
