In the Saxon line, for under $600, I'd recommend the 8" (200mm) Dobsonian.
MyAstroShop sell them (under the SkyWatcher brand name) for $440 with a couple of eyepieces, so whoever you are dealing with should be able to get you one well within your $600 limit. Nothing else in the Saxon range will have anywhere near the bang-for-buck factor. Grab a Cheshire/sighttube collimating tool (they are worth between $30-$70 and a must have for keeping the optics nicely aligned), and other accessories (eyepiece(s), barlow) with the change.
