I had a Skywatcher 10 collapsible DOB (not goto).
It was a great scope. Definitely needed the RA finder.
I upgraded to a 12" GOTO.
The improved vision was very slight, but just noticeable if really looking for it.
The upgrade was worth it because it included moving to GOTO.
The base has to be level.
I built a levelling platform, adjustable height legs from Bunnings, on form ply. Simple!
I used it for a couple of years happily.
I sold it recently and went back to a 10" (without synscan goto, but with Argo Navis push to).
My back is much happier with the reduced weight. (main reason for selling).
The views are pretty much as good (nearly).
And I am very (very) happy with the Argo Navis system.
Only thing I miss, a little, is the tracking. But that is no biggy.
And the Argo is so much easier to setup, align and use
Hope this helps.
