CCD camera/scope combination?

I am thinking of starting to do some CCD work, not in a quest for the perfect astro-image(I'll leave that for those with more time than I), just to see some things I can't visually and in color. I would appreciate from those of you that have worked with CCD equipment any thoughts you may have for a camera/scope combination. I am thinking of a Celestron CGE1400 with a SBIG ST-2000XM (maybe a ST-10XE), this is about my price limit so no RCs, astrographs, etc. This would be for imaging only, I have my dobs for visual. Ease of use and speed are the guide lines here. Thanks, Ralph

Sounds like a good choice to me. I saw one set up like this on Mt. Pinos, was very impressive.
