many mount choices, need advice

Hi all,

I curently have a 6"dob with my 600d mounted prime focus and it works great, but obviosly does not have goto

I am looking at upgrading and was looking at getting an LX80 but they are taking forever to release and from what ive heard there have been a few issues so i have been looking around.

i want to be able to upgrage to an 8" or 10" in the future(will probably be SC) and use it for astrophotography, so it needs to hold a camera and it would be a bonus if it could easily hold a guide scope.

I have been looking around and came up with:
Skywatcher EQ5 Pro GoTo Mount $999
Skywatcher HEQ5 Pro GoTo Mount $1249
EQ6 PRO GO TO Mount $1336

Can i get some advice on what would be best for me.

Please bear in mind i want to spend as little as possible but my price range is up to $1300 but can possible be stretched.

Cheers
