New mount or same mount new scope???

Hi,

With my wifes approval (well sort of), actually I bet to talk to her, I am going to buy a new piece of equipment.

My current imaging system is a EQ6 Pro woth Williams Optics Flt 110 with a W/O 70mm guide scope. I use a QHY9 mono with filter wheel. It is a great set up and I am very happy with it. I am also looking at the idea of a GSO 10 RC as it would allow me to image fainter objects with greater magnification.

My dilemma is the weight of this scope and guide scope on EQ6 Pro. So would it be more advisable to go the PARAMOUNT MX/ASTROPHYSICS 900 Goto and then weight till I can afford GSO. I do not have an observatory so I would also have to get a transportable pier but then I would have a mount for my future purchases.

Any thoughts???
