For a similar budget i bought a second hand HEQ5 goto and an ED80. I bought this as a start out imaging rig to compliment my 10 inch dob which i want for purely visual. You could go for something similar but it wont get you a better visual experience than the dob. Spending money on high quality eyepieces that suit whatever scope you buy is the key for observing. Even my somewhat limited range of 2 inch eyepieces exponentially heightens the visual experience through my dob.
If you are not interested in goto or photography then spend your dollars on aperture for the biggest newtonian you can lay your hands on with some quality eyepieces.
