120 x 600mm OTA + AZ3...A$499

I also have this scope and use it as a guide scope. It does have quite a bit of false colour. If you are going to use the scope mainly visually then I think the smaller scopes will be very disappointing. An 80mm ED as suggested seems OK for photography but gives a pretty dim image visually.
The 150mm mak would be light and captures much more light. Not as much as your dob but much more satisfying.
