Exactly what happened to me. I was thinking of getting the Bintel 8" dob for her, and it's cheaper too, But when I walked in and saw the LB, I was hooked.
And the funny thing is she always wanted a white telescope because she would drool over my little 40mm white Tasco I had when I was a boy.
I haven't seen the 12" LB but I imagine you're right.
The difference between the 10 and 12 DOB is significant as you say.
That's why I think the 10" LB would be ideal for you.
