Widefield will be less demanding on guiding so good move. And there's plenty to do with lenses. I've been doing a lot of widefield guided and there's much fun to be had.

EQ6 will be perfect to do longer subs at longer FL and progressively deeper. Then you can start thinking about getting a refractor or small scope for anything over 400mm to 600mm FL. Then the natural progression will be to get a cooled CCD down the road.
But when you get the mount buy a small guide camera such a QHY or other and get into autoguiding while still imaging with lenses. That will help you for later on when you decide to get a scope.
