Celestron 6" refractor or 8" reflector?

HI all,

Just looking for some opinions about a purchase that i'm stweing over.
I have a budget of under $2k and i'm not sure which to go for. I can either purchase a Celestron C6-RGT f/8 achromatic refractor 6" or the C8-NGT 8" Newt at f/5. Both are on EQ5 mounts and have GOTO installed. What I need is something for DSO mainly, and would like to get into Astrophotography later on aswell.
I just don't want to buy another scope later. Is it all about apeture size or other things also?
I plan to use it for visual and photo eventually.

Any thoughts?
