Need new scope

Interested in opinions on a new imaging scope, good light gathering, sharpness, reflector or refractor(please no reflector/refractor wars), suggest 6in and over. Have come to the conclusion that there is more than just a focuser wrong with my 10in. Did some testing last night with the same camera in an el-cheapo Celestron 102mm achromatic and stars are pretty round, guiding and alignment seem good, don't wanna waste anymore money on the old 10in, its time to upgrade.
Sample pics with Celestron, NGC253(underdone) and NGC2070, and Helix.
