Hi Snarky
With Dobs as a rule the bigger the better with one important proviso. Large Dobs are just that. LARGE. Even a 10" is a decent sized package and the mount is fairly heavy and cumbersome. So male sure you are happy carting it around before spending too much. Carting a big dob indoors on a winters night at 2am is not the most fun, and the novelty for some can wear off pretty quickly.
That is another way of saying that the best scope is one that gets used the most. Of course in the city, size is just about essential
