someone slap some sense into me!

i know im hopeless........

i was almost ready to pull the trigger on an 8" LX200-ACF when i thought 'but id really love a nice refractor'

sorry if im going around in circles here but as i mentioned before this will be my last major astro purchase for quite a while and id like to get it right.

after carefully re-thinking my goals i've figured that i have the 12" with AN which is my DSO scope, i have the 6" f/5 newt and ED80 which are both fairly short focal length widefield scopes.
so id like something in-between that would excel at photography AND give me some nice views of the planets.

i've been looking at the EON120, it seems to be getting good reviews and the finish on it looks very nice. plus to me the 900mm focal length sounds pretty nice aswell.

so what do you guys think? any suggestions?
i guess i could extend the budget to 3k at the absolute max if you have any alternatives.
