The 8@ dob is a great scope. The 10" also but it is heavier and a bit unwieldy through doorways if you need to lift it in and out. The savings over the 10" will go toward an EP or collimation tool.
I also recommend a strong Moon Filter. The moon is bright through any scope but a big mirror makes it over-powering. Use the smaller aperture that is in the lid with the MF. If'n you don't it will leave a black spot in your vision for 15+ minutes afterward.
You'll soon love ur Dob.
