Dear Podger,
You are going for a telescope that is a mix of a visual and photographic. Do you want to do planetary, if so then a SCT is going to have a lot of limitations for you. The Astro Societies tend to steer away from these selections as they are easily beaten in performance by a good Newt (reference grade hand crafted of course) or a really top shelf fluorite refractor such as a William Optics.
At the Astro Soc of Melb we do not have any member whom owns a SCT, there is a reason for this, as they are well known for their capability. We recommend a really good Newt or Fluorite refractor. Hope this assists.
