i agree with Greg, a new camera would be my choice of progression. either a qhy or zwo with a mid sized sensor. i also assume your DSLR is not astro modified, so you will be missing out on the Ha signal.
i disagree with the view that paying for a different processing program will take you to the 'next level'. plenty of apods exist without it. i would put my money into the camera (cooled and wider spectrum than a dslr), and continue to practice your processing skills. once you get to a more accomplished stage in processing you may find you've hit a bit of a processing wall, then might be the time to invest there. I suspect the jump you're after will come with a dedicated astro camera.
