I'm selling my G-8 mount and am getting a used C-9.25 + G-5 which is in good shape. I will put this on a wooden field tripod.
In order to give optimal utilization of the G-5 I was thinking of getting another OTA.
Thoughts?
C-6 S?
I don't photograph, only view.

When I do this I usually go a totally different direction - Instead of another SCT, why not a refractor or Newt - and instead of F/10, go wider field - like f/5-7.

80mm - 100mm APO. Small end of this range if you
want alot of portability. Orion or Celestron
ED-80 for example.
