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..
Monte we presently guide with a Skywatcher 70 x 500 ota, our guide camera is a DSI Pro and we use a GPUSB Adapter and PHD.

We are looking forward to the challenge ahead of the extra focal length.
