If your budget can manage it look for a HEQ5 pro as well ,just a bit heavier mount and new only a couple of hundred $ more than the EQ5 pro,this is in case the aperature bug hits you before the imaging bug does.
As Veejo said the 6" has a reputation for great optics in the States and can even be used with starizonias Hyperstar imaging for wide 300mm F2 unguided imaging with Video cams or smaller Astrocameras. I have an EQ5 pro with a 8"EDGE hd as a light travel setup but only image at F2 400mm with hyperstar lens and it handles this weight fine with a finderscope as a guide scope, but if your going to place the camera at Cassigrain Focus at the back F10 or F6.3 with a focal reducer than thats where a slightly heavier mount would benifit. The 6"might get away with it as it is only about 3kgs from memory and an EQ5 pro handles 9-11kgs ---lower kgs for imaging.
