It's a tradeoff - you pay a premium for the compact size of a Mak or SCT (the optics are are harder to make) vs a larger aperture dob, which has much simpler optics but the downside is its size.
I use two maks these days, mainly because my opportunities to get out user a dark sky are quite limited to the extent it isn't worth my while plunging a lot into this hobby.
If I had more time for observing sure, I'd assemble a 14" dob, and a a decent AP setup.
