Size does matter.... Refractors are more suited to Astrophotography and are affordable only in small apertures, so for value for money you can't go past a Newt. Far from being awkward and difficult to use Dobs are very effective and easy to use. Buy the largest aperture you can afford, for the $600-$650 target you have quoted you can get a 10 inch dob which will show much more than a 6 inch. A 10 inch mirror has close to 3 times the light collecting area of the 6 inch. The Eq3 equatorial mount would be more of a hinderance than help and is basically useless for Astrophotography work.
