Serious camera question

Hi group....

Since I sold my 120 f/8 the $$$$$$ is burning a hole....etc.

I'm thinking about getting a DSI Pro but the idea of a DSLR and no laptop
needed is very, very appealing. Is there a DSLR around $500 that would be
better or equal a DSI Pro? The Drizzle thing is a big deal as I don't have
the most accurate tracking mount made but adequate. Losmandy in the future
I suppose.

Any feedback would be very helpful.

Thanks

Doink
