It's done, I have bowed to the superior knowledge and experience of all you kindly folk ..... my new GSO 10" (Deluxe version) has already been dispatched and is on the way. When I did the maths the 10" will gather 56% more light (actually more, assuming the secondary mirror is the same size in the 8 and 10 inch versions). Therefore it's not only a better scope but slightly better value - better again when you also get the mirror fan. That's my story and I'm sticking to it - you can see how I quite reasonably "logicked" myself up into the bigger scope. :-)

Now it's off to Woollies tomorrow to buy a months worth of instant noodles .... but I'll be happy eating them!
