Mark gives some very sound advice in that previous post....
Im getting into DSO imaging at the moment, and after reading everything I can find, I've ordered a EQ6 (the G11 will be better, But its out of my price range) and have organised a 152mm refractor, for which I already have a 300D alot of accessories... I believe that for ease of use/portability a large refractor is a much better place to start for DSO's. Mind you a lot of people are using Newts and SCT to capture incredible images... and your C8 is a very capable piece of equipment..
You said yourself, choosing your scope is a personal thing... you really need to weigh up the pros and cons of each setup... including OVERALL costs.. whilst a 10" newt may be cheaper than 6" refractor, once you get a coma corrector, a good low profile focuser etc etc.. the costs build up.
