Go for it.
Andrews are selling them cheap at the moment..
An eq5 will certainly work for visual and as Colin says if you do decide to do any photos the eq 5 will be ok.
My tip... avoid astro photography unless you are single have lots of money and an independant income.
Seriously however I expect you could do good astro photos with a eq5.
I have an 8 inch (f5) (and other scopes from 6 thru to 12 inch) and I think it is the perfect size for all round ...mine seems to give good views and so far the few photos have been pleasing...
You know you want it get in before the Andrews sale stops...if it has not already.
