My C9.25 CF XLT seems all that I expected, arrived last week. I piggyback a Megrez 80mm on it.
I think the 10" Meade LX200R or the Celestron C9.25 XLT are scopes that often get rave reviews - and deservedly so. But astro-photography is something best suited to start on a 80mm scope I'm informed.
But my advice would be read alot - there are many posts on this website, because the range of scopes you consider are tools to achieve a purpose. Different night sky quality and difference focal lengths will affect what you can see and how good an autoguider you may need.
As one who's recently started - there's alot to learn.
