Chucky, have you considered going to a public observing night and looking at Saturn through a bunch of different scopes?
There's a lot of good choices but only 1 or 2 of them will suit your particular preferences and your typical observing conditions. For example a large, high quality instrument would be wasted if you rarely get stable skies, or you might prefer the convenience of a refractor and the aesthetics of its images, or you might prefer to tweak a large newt and wait for fleeting glimpses at high power, etc.
