If I had $2000 to spend and wanted to do what you wanted to do (which I presume is photography) I would buy a meade LXD75 go-to mount from bintel for $1198, lets see that leaves $800 for the scope, I don't know if you are a refractor guy or an SCT guy, or if it is planetary or DSO stuff you are interested in photographing but you could pick up a quality second hand 100mm+ refractor for around that (non-apo) for planetary or a second hand meade or celestron 8" SCT for DSO, not sure how SCTs are for photogrphy though - maybe you need a phot guy to step in here and whittle down your choices.
