Would a 6 inch f6 reflector work well on the heq5? As a nice middle ground between the 8 inch reflector and a small refractor?

From all ive seen and read 8 inch on the heq5 is pushing it. But works on calm nights. And for visual im sure its just fine.

And ive seen some good photos taken through 6 inch on heq5.

Ive been dealing with secondhand gear or stuff ive made at home. Which has hardly been reliable. Im looking for something that will be reliable under most conditions and also provide some decent views visually. If im doing photography i honestly think it wil be with my dslr only for the next while. However the 8 inch for visual is appealing as going down in aperture seems a backward step from my 8 inch dob. (But if it meant the setup was much better for astrophotography to.drop those 2 inches i would consider it)
