You should get great results with your current Mak on a good seeing night and Maks are usually pretty sharp too. The other advantage is if you have goto, then the object stays in view easier than manually moving the scope.

This is exactly what i am going to do, i already have ZWO camera for planets so i am done here, i just need to buy a Powermate 2x so i can test it with my Mak, maybe my cheap bad quality 2x and Televue 3x not powermate aren't good enough to resolve resolution, i am not in rush at all about new scopes yet, i just asked so if i plan later i know what to get, and hope this 2x Powermate will put me on the right way for planetary with my Mak and my ZWO camera.
Later in the future after i finish 2x and 5x Powermate i may try and add 2.5x Powermate or my Mak, but i can't be sure if it will help or it will be overkill, first 2x and 5x then when i get another budget then i will add 2.5x and 4x next, but let's just say, if i will use 4x and 5x, what is a good scope to match it then but not SCT?
