Hi Mark
Having imaging experience will obviously help. The best imagers for the Sun are mono ones as I believe they have a great range - what camera do you use from IS? I find the Sun easier than planetary stuff but I only image the Sun now, so it may be experience!?
The processing is time consuming if you let it be - you can get rewarding stuff with little time investment - mosaic discs can take hours (I have heard someone spent 10 hours on one!!!!).
If you want to get Ha features as you mentioned a 60 with a DMK31 would be a great combo.
Have a look at the images you like and see what equipment is used - 60 or 80 will keep you interested for years and years!

I have looked at some solar imaging tutorials and it looks like the hardest part is the processing of the images. I mostly want to focus on sunspots,solar flares and filaments. Full disc Mosaics look like they would be hard to do.
