Buying new scope - advice?

Hi all,

After getting familiar with the night sky with an 8" dob i felt like i wanted something more. Maybe something that would later lead to astropgotgraphy.

Anyway i sold my 8" skywatcher which now gives me a budget of $1000 (i'm a student so can't go much further)

Andrews is selling a 200mm skywatcher on an eq5 with dual axis motors for $950. Is this the best-buy for my price range and would it be more stable than my previous dob?

I can easily get 10" dob and (if im still in luck) a 12" GSO dob for under $1000. would these be better?

Any help would be much appreciated guys...
