Depends on how much work you want to put in.

The 6" f5 Achro I have now was Berts (Avandonk) and he did some of the nicest Deeeeeep DSO work I've have seen.
He used a monochrome chip and different filters for each colour, and it just takes the tiniest tweak of focus on each colour.
Bingo, 6" very deep imaging.

But yeah, Planetary is a different ball game.
