The issue with a Dob and planetary viewing will be when you starting whacking high power eyepieces in, it will move out of field quite quickly and you will need to keep nudging the OTA to centre the object.
Other alternative but rather expensive is a Servocat and Argo Navis but then you would probably blow your 2k budget and not even have a scope!
