Bottomline you need both a widefield APO 4 inch or so or less even and a larger aperture scope for the fainter things and for greater depth in less time.
Nothing beats aperture in this game. My Honders 305mm F3.8 gets the image way faster than any other scope I have used. My CDK17 gets the galaxies and other smaller objects looking good that is not really the ideal target for the Honders even though it can do it.
One scope does not do it all. A few have come close.
