Your head is giving you good advice. Right up to astrophotography an 8" or bigger dob mounted Newtonian fits your requirements.
One way of aiding your choice would be to actually try to move one of those big Meade's... they are heavy and awkward.
For the money you are thinking of spending you could even have one of the bigger Orion dobs with all of the bells and whistles which could be used for limited astrophotography.
