Any suggestions?

If you could stretch that budget by about $500, choice would be the Losmandy GM8 new (2nd hand cheaper, but rare as hen's teeth).

EQ5 and a 12" scope would be a pretty unstable pairing I reckon
I only have an ED80 and 80mm guidescope on my EQ5 for astrophotography, and I wouldn't want to add any more weight to it!
