If you want portable eq 6 is a little heavy whereas the eq 5 is a nice weight, for me at least.
On the basis of what you get next will not be the last I suggest a heq5 and a 6 inch reflector and a dslr.
The six inch reflector is underestimated but I found mine was great for visual and not bad for AP.
However if you want to spend go for a skywatcher 100 mm triplet and an eq6 ... knowing you will always want the 150 mm.
But if you start with a six inch reflector and sell it later for half what you paid you wont lose much...I would still be using my six inch but it needs a rebuild so I went 8 inch reflector and a 80 mm triplet.
Good luck I dont think there is an easy answer.
I will say using a dslr in Sydney has turned out way better than I expected.
Good luck.
