I have both 8" and 12" Dobs. The 12 is by far the awesomer (new word!) scope to look through, and it impresses the trousers off household visitors.
For actual user friendliness though, the 8 is the winner by quite a margin. Carrying the 8 into the yard for viewing is very easy, whereas getting the 12 out is quite a chore. The Bunnings trolley has been bought, but it'll need some modification before it can carry the GSO 12" safely.
A well tuned 8" gives fantastic views, especially when combined with a premium eyepiece.
That said, apperture rules, so my 12" is about to undergo some heavy weight loss therapy!
Cheers,
Jason.
