This should be a pretty effective set-up, not too big, not too much focal length, sturdy mount.

Apart from the optical train questions which will solve themselves when you get all your toys together, what are you going to guide with?

You are far too high up the focal length scale to use an EQ6 unguided. There are good shoestring options to do this and keep the prices down. But factor this in now or your rig will only be good for shots of the moon.

PS when you are putting it together for the first time test it looking at terrestrial objects this will save you a lot of frustration in the dark.
