How about an eq6 and an 80mm (triplet can be had for $1500 or doublet around $500) I suggest that because you can use it for a guide scope and a very good capture scope and add it to the scope set up you finally select. Much fine widefiled work is done with an 80mm. For my money given the lens and gear you have shot thru the camera and its lens using the 80mm as a guider.. That will keep you occupied. Have a look at some of the wide fields using canon standard lens (I got some good ones with only a 300d and standard lens and found it very satisfying, more so than narrower fields actually)
My final choice eq6, 80mm triplet, 9.25 or 11 inch celestron with a usablable piggy back mount to hold cameras securely
Anyways whatever you get there will be another more appealing thats part of this hobby there are always greener fields to infinity
