Hi James, welcome.
Lots of good advice so far..
My quick summary would be..
EQ5...6" newt
HEQ5...8" newt
EQ6..10" newt
and I would say that is loading the mount fairly well up near max payload when you add the extra goodies.
Like Mike says, a 8" on a EQ6 would make a very good platform for astrophotography but a HEQ5 would be good but more limited to visual and shorter exposures.
cheers Gary
