Haven't heard much good about the Saxon Maks but never used one either. Sounds like an 8" SCT is what you probably should be aiming for. I'd have a hard time justifying spending $2000 on one though when a $400 Dob shows you as much, a little more even. So if you can accommodate a 1.15m long optical tube the Dob is worth considering. If you have a hatchback that would make it easy. Otherwise it's got to go across the back seat. Re "upgrading" for astrophotography, the 8" Dob's OTA can be transferred to an EQ mount.
