I think you need to define what you are wanting to do. Are you looking for a visual scope or imaging? If purely visual, dobs with as large an aperture as you can afford is usually the way to go. Remember, aperture ALWAYS wins!
Going for a computerised go to sounds attractive but you will always trade aperture for convenience of the go-to. Look around at any star party the visual guys use big dobs 80 - 90% of the time.
Getting the "sort of view" shown in photos is just about impossible at the eyepiece as photos are long exposure to enhance colour and detail.
On the other hand if you want to get into imaging, the equipment needs are fairly specialized and costly.
