Mak/Newts are available as big as your wallet will stretch. I had a 10" for a while, nice, but heavy and expensive.
The MN66 or MN76 are hard to beat as all rounders, but being heavier then similar newts they need a slightly beefier mount.
On another note I have recently acquired a 7" Maksutov Cassegrain, and am absolutely loving it. After being apprehensive about imaging at 1800mm focal length it is going well, and the images are coming out OK.
