I have a Meade 6" f/8 achro that has some coating issues and was thinking of replacing it with something better. Any suggestions for purchasing a lens and cell combination without the OTA?

Depends on what you want to spend. Least expensive is buying an existing achro scope.

Or go big and pick up an APO lens from this site - be prepared to pay a large amount of $.
