looking at upgrading

Hi all
I'm looking at purchasing a new scope for my Skywatcher star discovery goto mount.
Currently i'm using a Skywatcher 80/400 refractor
I'm considering either the Skywatcher 102 Mak or Orion 102 Mak.
I know there is the problem with tracking for astrophotography, but will either of those scopes allow me to do DSO.
The main consideration is budget as when on a pension funds are limited.
A possible consideration would be the 127 Mak if it is not to heavy for the Star discovery mount which I think has a limit of 5kg
Any comments would be appreciated.
