Eq, Goto, $2000-$4000?

Hi All

I was rambling on about a $2000 refractor a while ago and I'm still not to sure which way to go. Now, I already have a 10" Dob and that is cumbersome enough, so I was wondering what to get next. I'm after a lightish scope with a GOTO mount. Those Skywatcher PRO series (I like the 100ED) look good value for money, but then again the Celestron C8-SGT is significantly wider. I'm looking to get into photography down the line, so I'm leaning towards an EQ mount.

My main question is, What's your choice of light(ish) GOTO, EQ mounted, scope between $2000-$4000? I really don't want to go above $4000 and around $3000 would be even better. I also don't mind buying an OTA and mount seperately, but would prefer to buy new.

Thanks in advance

Gareth
