That's quite a bargain. Why not get it and learn the sky and the pros and cons of GOTO and then you can go larger, say 12" as no point jumping to 10" from 8" (or smaller grab and go if you want) as your next telescope in a few years but only if you want to. You could buy it and the 14" manual dob in the classifieds for the same cost as a 10" GOTO; just saying not that you need to.
8" aperture is plenty for thousands of objects from planets to DSOs. If you have money left over then get a quality eyepiece or two. You won't regret it.
Enjoy!
