Are you in the position to put up a pier and observatory?? If you can, do so, as that 10" and the EQ6 mount will be damn heavy to move about, especially on your own. Plus you need a decent car to move it around in. Then you'll probably have to collimate it every time you want to observe, once it's moved about and then pull it all down to come back home again. You'd be better off buying either the ED80 or an ED100 and sticking that on the EQ6 for both pics and visuals. It won't be near as heavy, though you'll still have 25kg of mount to lug around. The refrac's will give you great views of the moon, planets and many DSO's. Plus it may leave you enough money to grab a DMK/DBK or GSTAR-EX camera.
Anyway, if you buy the SW252 and ED80 OTA, that will just about blow your $3000. LLV/CCD cameras will have to be a future purchase. If you have a DSLR then you're halfway there, but you may want to mod it.
Your prefered combo, though, will make a good imaging and visual scope. If it's what you want, then go and get it. But weigh up all the pro's and cons of having such a large setup to lug about.
