Both are great optically.
Don't be swayed by poor quality EP's from Andrews (budget constraints allowing).
GOTO all seems nice till you have to stuff around in the dark making it work.
As others have said there are cheaper add-ons.
If I were in your shoes I would be tempted by a 12" over a 10" and forget EP's and GOTO that comes with the scope. You will find many cheap EP's for sale on the forums here.
Good Luck with your exciting new hobby

Yeah my initial thoughts were to go with the 12" but the size seems to be too big for me. Even in my own backyard i think portability to an extent will matter and in terms of viewing is ther a significant difference between the 10" and 12"? I do remember there was a big difference between the 8" and 10" so im sure on that but not the 10" vs 12" hence my preference on the 10" one.
And also probably gives me more budget to invest on good EPs if I go with the 10"
