Celestron Nexstar 8SE or Dob?...decisions, decisions???

Hello everyone,

I am thinking about buying another scope as it seems I might not be getting the results I was hoping for with my Nexstar 4GT.

So I was thinking about getting a Nexstar 8SE (imported) or a GoTo 8"-10" Dob in the next couple of months.
My decision will be purely based on astrophotography (planets primarily, possibly DSO's).
Im using a modded Toucam as my camera.

So my question is;
- which of the 2 would you choose? (based on performance, not cost)
- would I really NEED a GoTo Dob?
- would you suggest something else?

As always, opinions and input is always welcome and appreciated.

Thanks
Twiggy
