Hi Champ , Andrew has hit the nail on the head with the LXD55, not as good as the LXD75 both of which are chinese copie's of chinese copies,
Another option for you is the Celestron 6" refracter on the CG5 Goto mount, a much better mount than both the Meades, the Meades are copie's of this mount.
The 6" refracter is still quite a load for all these mounts, not because of the weight but because of the length of the tube.The EQ6 is the better choice.
cheers
david.
