Next scope purchase

Still considering my next scope purchase.

Was wondering whether my Skywatcher EQ6 would be able to handle this OTA or whether it's time to step up to a G-11 or something else?

Looks to be an optically excellent scope but would it be a real step forward given the marginally extra aperture of the 9.25?

I'll be looking to use it mainly for astrophotography (planets and DSO) and think the 1/8th to 1/10th wave optics will offer an improvement?

I've also been told its a very nice visual instrument.
