Shaun,
It is a commonly held belief that you will see more with an 8" DOB than you will with an 8" SCT.
This i can attest to having moved from a Celestron CPC1100 (11" SCT) to a SW 10" DOB.
And the SCT did have superb optics for an SCT.
But I had better views with the Dob.
So if it is visual you are interested in the DOB is the biggest bang for bucks.
Thats just my opinion, and that of many very experienced astronomers here on IIS.
Don't get me wrong, I loved my SCT, but for visual the DOB wins.
