Best to stick with lightweight EPs for that setup otherwise you'll get too much vibration at high powers.
But seriously, if you have $1k to spend, just get yourself an 8" f/6 GSO Dob and a good EP kit. It'll knock your socks off especially on planets compared with the 130mm Saxon.

Thanks for the advice, might look into that then!
