Starting over

Well, thats it for me guys... I'm starting over from scratch.. selling everything taking 2 months off to think everything through.. This thread will hopefully get me through... these are the list of things i want in a telescope set up...
My budget is $1350
Right now, I have a 10" dob, and HEQ5 mount, just recently sold my ED80. I want a set-up which is good visual telescope (DSO, faint fuzzies and such). but I'd want to do some Astrophotography as well as some video astronomy... my current thoughts are...
1. 12" Dobsonian (Solid Tube) and after a while get a G11 or something or rather to do some piccies
2. 6" Achro Refractor on HEQ5 for visual as well as vid astron
3. 8" SCT on Wedge and drive for visual as well as Vid astron and photography
4. You tell me
*NEW ADDITION*
5. 12" Meade Light Bridge and later on buy an EQ platform
