Meade LXD55 6" Achromatic Refractor

Hey guys.

I've been recently looking to upgrade my old garbage scope, and was looking
at the Meade LXD55 6" Achromatic Refractor. It can be found at the link
below. Read about the 6" version, not the 5". Would that scope give
detailed images of solar system objects and deep-space objects (nebulae,
galaxies, clusters, etc.), or would I need an even better scope. I would
also use the scope for some astrophotography, but wasn't sure if it would be
too blury because it's achromatic. I was looking at this scope because it
isn't as pricey as the apochromatic Meade refractors. Would the image
quality be a lot different between the apochromatic and achromatic? Lastly,
I thought this scope would be good because it includes the equatorial mount,
and the GoTo remote. What do you guys think?
